http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI only just
rejoined the list after a few years, and it wasn't as easy as I expected.

1. I started by going to http://www.groundzerogames.net/ expecting to
see "Mailing list" either on the left bar or under "Contact Us" or "Community"
(MIA).

2. I then searched for "GZG Mailing list" and found the instructions at
http://www.stargrunt.ca/ref_info/gzg_mailing_lists/gzg_mailing_lists.htm
which I thought I remembered was out of date due to a migration from majordomo
to mailman a while back, but I tried anyway, and received the inevitable
bounce.

3. I then navigated through the list archives at
http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/ , picked a random message (which
happened to be Michael Hudak's "Greetings of the Season"), and clicked on the
link included at the bottom of every post:
http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l

Seriously, as a FLOSS developer, any project that made it as hard to join the
mailing list as GZG seems to make it would be doomed from the outset. If I
hadn't lurked previously and consequently known there was this incredible,
diverse community hidden _somewhere_, I would have given up at step 2
assuming that the community, ruleset, and entire GZG universe was defunct.

If the maintainers of the various primary websites out there could update
their mailing list instructions I would appreciate it. Purely selfish I know,
but I consider the GZG community one of the hidden gems of the internet, and
I'd love to be able to enjoy it for a long time to come.

I stumbled on the mailing list after I started taking a serious look at
Stargrunt II. I forget where I got the link (probably stargrunt.ca?) but
decided to give it a shot.

In the brief time I've been here, I have been overwhelmed with awesome.

It definitely is a hidden gem, as Andrae puts it.

I don't know who's maintaining the GZG website, but there should definitely be
a link and registration instructions added to this page:

http://www.groundzerogames.co.uk/index.php?option=com_weblinks&Itemid=23

I think this should be done ASAP.

Hey, Seamus.

Were you one of the guys I talked to about SG2 on RPG.net?
