Its working again.
You sign up to it and it has a web page you can read the emails from but the way it works is you send an email and attachment up to 50K to the 16mmngm email address and everyone who is a member receives your email.
So if you have dial up it would be a pain as you have to download all the emails unless you use web mail.

So it is just emails? Why not a forum?

I suppose not a forum mainly due to how long its being going.
It was founded in Sptember 1998 when web was still fairly new and most people only had 19200 or 28800 modems and the WWW didnt have the tevhnology to do a live forum.
They could make it a forum now I guess but everyone is used to it now and you still have an option of searching through the archived emails on the web page for it anyway.
