[arg_discuss] PM-created listservs

[Brooke Thompson]

Wasn't it the PMs that set up the Push, NV's Enoch Push Dialectic list at
Yahoo! Groups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enochpushdialectic/

Unfortunately, it's turned into a spam/porn clearinghouse of sorts because
there has been absolutely no moderation since the board was set up. Also,
the first few weeks of emails/posts are no longer there because of limits
Yahoo placed on the account (and later took away).

For a number of reasons, including the lack of moderation and fear of posts
disappearing, players went a number of other places. Push related lists were
set up at yahoo & delphi and some players went to existing ARG sites
unfiction & collectivedetective.org. It was actually during Push that the
forums at unfiction were born - for you ARG history buffs out there. While
Push wasn't much of a consideration in creating the forums, it gave the
forums a good healthy start.
