Dear Members,
As one of the administrators of this mailbase, I have noticed a steady reduction in its use over the last year or so. 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.
Please let me have your views on whether to suspend the mailbase.
Best wishes
Sandra Courtman
