Here are some other forums you may want to book mark should this site go down again.

There are several toki pona groups on Facebook. As I've posted elsewhere, the center of the small toki pona universe keeps moving, and the best thing to do is just follow it-- no single person seems to have the power to change it, although the closing of the toki pona mailing list did squash that sort of interaction. Maybe I should create a toki pona google group, since it sort of acts like a forum & mailing list at the same time.

For community building, community activist should engage the world on all kinds of forums, from twitter to facebook to livejournal to jan sewi li sona what else.

Anyhow, what cheeses me off about this forum is that I can't get notifications because the return address on the notification email is gmail acct but the notification isn't sent from gmail, so gmail automatically puts such emails into the spam folder. I think this has really killed activity on this board because people can't get relpy notifications. I've notified jan Sonja, but she can be unpredictable about if and when she replies.

maybe this arrives only? (huh?)

I would really like to have our upcoming discussions as a mailing list, too. So I'm in favour of a google group. And please don't create subtopics. One big mailing list is sufficient in my opinion. The community and its communication traffic is small after all.

just happens.

@bronger
The mailing list is up-- Google Groups style, it seems to be what all the cool lojban kids are doing.

And before anyone says anything, yes, I know some people really do not like mailing lists. This isn't for them. And yes, this splinters the tiny TP community, but so far, people are more reluctant to switch technologies and communities than you might think (livejournal people, yahoo mailing list people and forum people overlap only somewhat)

Thanks for setting up a mailing list! (By the way, isn't the idea behing Google Groups that ou have a mailing list and a forum?)

But, how are people supposed to find this mailing list? As many toki pona pages as possible should point to it.
