List(ory)
History More
recently still in 1999, TSR has made the lists "official"
by moving them to its own Oracle.Wizards server. We have
remained as list moderators (someone must like us ;-) and
things should continue as before, only now they're
"officially approved". The
current Moderators of the Planescape Mailing List are
Zak Arntson, Ken Lipka and Jon Winter. We
have all been list members for longer than we care to
remember, and it's our intention to keep things running
as smoothly as they did under Alistair's guidance. If
you've ever wondered about who we are, this page should
answer a few questions... Copyright 1999 by Jon Winter

Online ]The
Mailing List passed into new hands recently. Alistair
Lowe-Norris set up and moderated the Planescape Mailing
List since its conception in 1994, about the same time
the Planescape Campaign first appeared on the shelves.
Originally the PS List was run from the Leicester
University server in the UK, but moved to MPGN's server
in late 1996. In 1997 two Monitors were appointed for
each list as the number of members grew too large for one
person to manage. In late 1997 Alistair "retired" from
the half-dozen or more AD&D lists and passed the
ownership to long-time members. We thank him for all the
time he has given the AD&D lists over the years;
without him they'd not even exist in their present
form.

zak@mimir.net
Zak
Arntson is an early 20s year old college student
from West Coast USA. He studies Computer Science
and Art, has followed Planescape since its birth
and has been on the mailing list since shortly
after that. His web site, the Planescape
Index, was the
first Planescape-related site on the Internet.
You can email him at zak@mimir.net.
Zak is the scariest of the moderators. He has
been known to associate with both the
Mercykillers and Microsoft.
Ken
Lipka is a late 20-something Project Engineer at
Ford in the USA. He's a Dilbert fan, also a
member of the mailing list since the early days.
Ken's website is On
the Wings of Mephits,
the home of the Planescape Fiction Archive and
Chain Stories, amongst other things. He's also
working on various secret projects ;-) You can
email him at ken@mimir.net.
Ken is the tallest of the moderators.

jon@mimir.net
Jon
Winter is a mid-20s year old PhD student from
Manchester, England, researching in the field of
organic chemistry. After initially balking at
the price of the first Planescape Boxed set he
splashed out the cash and has never looked back.
Once he discovered email and the mailing list he
became an incurable addict. He now maintains
Mimir.Net,
the largest Planescape site on the internet
(you're browsing part of it now, berk). You can
email him at jon@mimir.net.
Jon is the biggest Vengaboys fan of all the
moderators.
Discussion
on the mailing list is moderated mainly by Zak and Ken,
while Jon deals with the day-to-day running behind the
scenes, which mainly consists of handling the error
messages the list generates (sometimes as many as 500 a
day). If you have subscription problems your best bet is
to email pslist@mimir.net,
which forwards mail to whoever's reading the error
messages...usually Jon, but he's been known to go on
holiday sometimes ;-)
