Hey, thanks for keeping it going this long. I'm glad, as a johnny-come-lately who has only been playing RPGs since the 90s, that I ran into TFT *at all.* This mailing list has been great. Stay cool, everybody! -N.

Wow! Those are great words - RIP TFT Mailing list.
I am (and surely I'm not alone, so we are) grateful to YOU for maintaining this resource over those years (and that an 18 didn't come up sooner!).
All the best!

It's with a sad heart that I announce that it's time to close down the TFT
mailing list. The current brainiac server has been good to me, but it's
getting old and some components are showing their age, especially the SSDs.
Rather than replace them, I've purchased a new server and put a modern Linux
on it, only to find that the sofware that manages the list refuses to work
properly. I've spent a lot of time (too much, according to some) in trying
to get it to work, but the software has been abandoned for some time now.
I could spend more time installing a new package, but the learning curve is
steep, especially trying to port the archives, and the reality is that things
have moved on. There have only been eight posts in the last two years, and
it's not enough to justify further effort, so the list will be going dark
over the weekend of Feb. 3rd, 2024.
It's been a great run!
The first message was posted on June 28, 1998 - over a quarter-century ago! -
back when dialup was far and away the most prevalent way of getting online.
The whereabouts of Howard Thompson were a mystery and the Metagaming games,
especially Melee, Wizard, and TFT, languished in obscurity.
Today TFT is more popular than it ever was. Steve Jackson was finally able
to recover the rights to his games and the forums at SJGames.com is a
thriving community.
The archives will remain online at https://tft.brainiac.com.
I'm grateful to you all for being such a big part of my life! I had
no idea when I started the list that it would be such a long-running
project, but as the say, "All good things..." and this has been a very
good thing indeed.
Thank you.
