A Message
from the President
-----
As you may have noticed, many of NetMUG's services have been shut
down in the past months. This message is intended to answer common
questions about the group's current status and future.
NetMUG was founded with the goal of providing services to the Mac
community to help Mac users make better use of their computers. Over
the years, we have experimented with a number of different services
towards this end.
In the past, we have provided traditional MUG-like services: a
newsletter, online meetings, discussion forums, etc. The amount of
effort required and the declining interest in these services means
that they are no longer sustainable -- simply put, we just don't have
the resources to continue providing them.
We remain committed to the goal of serving the Mac community, and
intend to continue to do so in different ways. One way in which we
currently do so is by acting as a supporting organization for various
other Mac-related groups. Among other things, we provide resources to
support our closely-related organization, DALnet #macintosh, which
provides free live technical support to the Mac community, as well as
the Your Mac Life radio program.
Though our resources are admittedly quite limited, we continue to be
interested in developing new low-maintenance Mac-related
services. Anyone interested in helping with this should send me an
email at the address below.
And, as always, I encourage
anyone with questions to contact me at (president at netmug.org).
