Jade Master (Mar 13 2025 at 09:13):Hi, I sent an announcement about TACT 2025 11 days ago to the mailing list and it hasn't gone through. I asked about what happened 5 days ago and again 3 days ago but I've received no response. Does anyone know what's going on or know of someone I could contact to figure that out? I really love the categories mailing list and would be very dissapointed if I am no longer able to use it.
Amar Hadzihasanovic (Mar 13 2025 at 09:18):@JS PL (he/him) is the admin

Hi Jade: sorry I don’t think I got your email, either to the mailing list or to me. To what email did you send it to and who did you ask?
Jade Master (Mar 13 2025 at 09:24):I first

I sent the announcement to categories@mta.ca then I asked about it to categories-request@mta.ca
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:25):Ah yes that’s the issue
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:26):That’s the old mailing list
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:26):The new mailing list is
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:26):We’ve swapped over since November 2023

These emails no longer work

Ohh thanks. Does the new mailing list have a website? (and it still forwards to the old one right?)
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:30):The old is no longer running. We switched all members from the old to this new one. So it gets announced to the same community
JS PL (he/him) (Mar 13 2025 at 09:31):https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/categories+mailing+list
Jade Master (Mar 13 2025 at 09:33):Thank you for your help @JS PL (he/him) I remembered there was some switch but then only found the old one and assumed there was some forwarding scheme. Anyway, it's all sorted now :thumbs_up:
John Baez (Mar 13 2025 at 16:59):Is there a webpage that misled you, @Jade Master? If so, we can get someone to edit it.

Yes it was this one https://mta.ca/~cat-dist/ It would be good to leave a notice there saying that the mailing list has moved but I can understand why that might not be feasible.
John Baez (Mar 14 2025 at 15:23):That page was created by Bob Rosebrugh, and I just sent him an email asking if he can fix it, and explaining your sad story.
