Email Lists

The original email list, [email protected], was created on 17 May 1999 by Rick Tucker. Egroups was bought by Yahoo in August 2000 and hence the email list was renamed by them to be [email protected].

When Yahoo starting reducing services, the email list moved to [email protected] on 20 October 2019.

Note: ETwA, CUTwC, and others maintain their own, separate email lists.

Newsgroups

Usenet newsgroup: alt.games.tiddlywinks.

Created: 21 January 1993 at 3:42 am by Richard Taylor, requested by ETwA winker Julian D. Porter.

The early posts on alt.games.tiddlywinks contain relevant information about winks and winks events, but for quite a few years it’s been pretty much entirely spam.
