Last time I checked with Chris, who does the computer stuff at Mallorn that takes care of hort.net, he said iris talk archives were still getting more than 10,000 search hits/month. Hardly a dead group. And that was in comparison/contrast to some of the other hort.net groups. Of course, some of that traffic is from those of us who've been sharing information there for over a decade and are using the archives as a memory aid for info we want to share on Facebook ;-)
I vividly remember how I learned about the hort.net forum (originally iris-list) - it was 1996, & I had finally gotten internet phone service, went online, thought "now what am I going to do, now that I'm finally here". Did a search for irises, found a brand new forum started by Mike Lowe and Tom T Little (now Tom Waters) and joined. I think that was the second month they were in operation.

In spite of what some participants have thought, although the list at hort.net was started by two AIS members, it was not originally intended to be an official AIS forum. 

Is it now an official AIS forum?


Why would you want an AIS forum if you have the hort.net forum? I thought the Hort.net served the AIS community.
