Stargate SG-1 mailing lists
From Fan History Wiki
[edit] Introduction
Mailing lists have historically played an important role in the Stargate SG-1 fandom and continue to do so. The first lists were created not long after the show debuted on television.
[edit] Timeline
Below is a partial timeline of events that took pace in the Stargate community involving mailing lists.
- On September 18, 1998, the mailing list stargatesg1-1 was created. [1]
- On May 30, 2000, the Dan/Jan mailing list danandjan was created. [2]
- On March 22, 2001, the mailing list milliways-L was created for the posting of science fiction related fan fiction and discussion. Fandoms represented included this one. [3]

- On September 18, 2006, the Stargate mailing list OfficialStargateList was created. [5]
- In August 2007, due to a rumor that Yahoo!Groups was removing users who were lurking on mailing lists in this fandom, a number of mailing lists saw an increase in participation so that would not happen. While this rumor was not true, and Yahoo was only removing people who had e-mail accounts bouncing in excess of six months, it did not stop a certain level of hysteria.
