I thought we agreed on making it one step that people also sets the “mailing list” settings for them?
(Also, why is this post set to auto-close?)

Bump.

I am doing this email blast this week as soon as the SHHH post has been finalized.

Unless people have a problem with me doing it.
Please feel free to make suggestions on it post before I send it.

Subject: Missed VHS? We miss you too!

Hello Hackers, Makers, Crafters, Builders, and people that subscribed to the Vancouver Hack Space (VHS) mailing lists!

VHS has migrated from the old mailing list software to a new and shiny Discourse system that we call “Talk.” A lot of the people have made it on there, and have been having a great time sharing ideas, our projects, and the progress we’ve made! It’s been terrific, but there is one really important thing missing: You! Come join us!

All you need to do is make a new account on https://talk.vanhack.ca, and you’re done! That’s the only step! From there, you can customize Discourse so it works just like a mailing list

If you want to see the new space in person, come out to our next Super Happy Hacker House on Feb 21st: http://goo.gl/dU6T4Q

We miss you, so come join us on Talk and build awesome projects!
