Okay I feel a bit guilty,
I've joined some 63 groups over the years.
The vast majority of which I joined only
to access rules or files. I only participate
in a very few of them. But I hesitant to leave the
groups just in case my 'project' of the month
leads me back to these topics.

1 – "Check Your 6" group.

I'm on 163. I cut back. ;-D

Thanks,

John

Scores.

A few of them I get email digests for and contribute to, most I just visit from time to time. I get the impression that the majority are dying out, groups which used to be really, really active just doing a few posts a day. One or two active groups still, but just the same half dozen people posting on each.

55
I only get mail from 5, though. the rest are "read on da 'Net", but I hardly ever do so.

Dropzonetoe Fezian27 May 2009 5:24 a.m. PST

I have 2 or 3 but I rarely go to them anymore. I just don't like the format. I also will never goto anyones posted yahoo group if I have to join to see pics when people post links here.

Big Martin27 May 2009 5:27 a.m. PST

4 – but I've stopped do anything with 2 of them.

Grizwald27 May 2009 5:34 a.m. PST

Too many!!

Chris Palmer27 May 2009 5:40 a.m. PST

Moderator of 2 and member of 10. Like everyone else, most I don't get email from or just the digest form. Only for the 2 that I am moderator of am I signed up for daily email.

slugbalancer27 May 2009 6:06 a.m. PST

4. I get the digest daily.

Stosstruppen27 May 2009 6:18 a.m. PST

24 right now…

lugal hdan27 May 2009 6:20 a.m. PST

25, though a few I only occasionally lurk on. I do unsubscribe to the ones I really won't be back to. And sometimes I re-up when my interest in that subject returns.

My goal is to have all my groups visible from the "compact" view. :)

The Black Tower27 May 2009 6:26 a.m. PST

0 I prefer to read blogs

Forums seem to be the same old views trotted out by the same old people – but with new names

PapaSync27 May 2009 6:41 a.m. PST

20 Of them as online read only…

CorpCommander27 May 2009 6:53 a.m. PST

Active? Probably 4 with one I never read the digest from unless I see something promising in the first few subject lines.

I prefer RSS feeds now which I aggregate. I have 2 dozen blogs I like to follow. The problem with mailing lists are occasionally flame wars erupt which are immature and pointless. If you are on dozens of lists then odds are there is some stupid screed in your inbox. I've found it better to limit the number of lists I read to ones that are really interesting and or pertinent and get my commentary from other sources.

About a 100, but I only get a digest from about 20 of them daily.

I do what lugal hdan does. I try to cull the ones I've lost interest in before joining any new ones, and read them via website only. No e-mails, ever.

HardRock27 May 2009 4:08 p.m. PST

197 so far. I get digests from about 15, I have too many areas I like to keep up with, I keep what I'm into at the present active. I used to drop out when my interest waned, but it was hard to find them again. So when I find something I'm into I'll join and either read or set to web only.

Lord Hypnogogue27 May 2009 4:23 p.m. PST

5 or 6.

My gaming group communicates through one, I haven't checked the others in months.

Broadsword28 May 2009 5:47 a.m. PST

31.

Some are very active, but most are not.
