Good morning, Art.
Lots of others to thank over many years....N5KO, K5TR, AD1C, W4AN (SK).
I never saw 3830 as a discussion forum, even though it may have been
used that way from time to time. Or maybe you are referring to
CQ-Contest, which is not going away. This is just about 3830.

Years' of thanks and kudos, Dave
CQ-Contest Reflector's score reporting function did well evolve to
3830score.com <http://3830score.com> (thanks and kudos, WA7BNM).
But the Reflector's function as a discussion forum -- should SOA be
same as SO?; what chair works best for you?; "listen to this story",
etc. -- would/will need a new home. (Some of these topics show up on
the N1MM Group; they often get bounced over to CQ-Contest). Any
ideas/plans on where we can do that?

Good morning.
The 3830 Mailing List has been around since at least 1996. My
recollection is that we had it going prior to that but the current
archives have been around since January 1996. Over the years it
has been
a useful resource for the contesting community.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver email to certain
(major) email providers, despite using every required email
sending best
practice. We have subscribers marking email as spam (damaging
server IP
reputation), subscribers who have changed email address and never
unsubscribed from the list, and many other administrative hassles.
Despite the admin hassles, Bruce Horn WA7BNM's 3830score.com
<http://3830score.com> site has
been wildly successful, and is really the focal point for gathering
contest scores after contests. It is difficult to imagine that anyone
would prefer getting an email for every single score that's reported.
It's not a very efficient use of email.
So unless I hear (really) loud screams before December 31, 2023, I
intend to decommission this list on that date. You can contact me at
km3t at km3t.org <http://km3t.org> if you have any comments. The
historical web archives
of the 3830 list will continue to be available.
