Can I say that as someone who has no interest in Facebook or similar social media, I value the Mailbase greatly. It may have reduced traffic, but I still think it is of considerable use. I would personally lament its passing.
Thanks for your efforts to keep it going up to now.
Regards
Steve

It was originally started to connect people working on the Caribbean across the world. In that respect, it has been effective. However, myself and Amanda Sives started this mailbase in 2001 at a time before the expansion of the world wide web and the networks of social media. It was intended to serve as a message point for members of The Society for Caribbean Studies (UK) which now has a vibrant online presence through its Facebook page. Therefore, I am seeking views as to whether this mailbase has reached the end of useful life given how many other means there are to keep in contact.
