 ====== Talk to us on IRC ======
-Come and chat on [[irc://irc.austnet.org/#bugs|#bugs on irc.austnet.org]]. You may also find people on one of our contingency servers: [[irc://irc.oz.org/#bugs|#bugs on irc.oz.org]], [[irc://irc.oftc.net/#bugs|#bugs on irc.oftc.net]], [[irc://irc.freenode.net/#bugs|#bugs on irc.freenode.net]] ([[why_so_many]|why so many?]] - there may even be a bridge running between the networks). There are usually about 20 members on at any time, and the channel is very active. IRC newbies click [[irc_help|here]] for help.

 ====== Participate in the BUGS mailing list ======
-Subscribe to our mailing list to get occasional updates and chit-chat that doesn't get onto IRC. Simply visit [[https://www.rulingia.com/mailman/listinfo/bugs/]] or send an email to [[bugs-subscribe@bugs.au.freebsd.org]].  Note that you must be subscribed to the list in order to post to it.
+The mailing list is currently disabled since it hasn't had any non-spam traffic for more than 2 years and the mailing list software needs updating.  Mailing list archives back to late October 2007 remain available at: [[https://www.rulingia.com/pipermail/bugs/]].
-The list is unmoderated.  Please note that on occasion, posts to the mailing list will contain commonly used colloquialisms that may be regarded as unsuitable for children under two years old and braindead mail filtering software.  Mailing list archives back to late October 2007 are available at: [[https://www.rulingia.com/pipermail/bugs/]].

 In the past some of the BUGS members organised a [[past_meetings|meeting]] somewhere. Usually this is just a social gathering, but occasionally we may want to share technical know-how with other members. Here is a [[talk_topics|list of topics]] that could be discussed or presented at a future meeting. Meetings will most likely be organised on IRC though also there may be notifications on the mailing list.
