Alternative Bristol Information Outlets

In the days before the BIMC server was seized an 'unofficial emergency response network' was publicised on BIM in anticipation of the seizure. The re-routed  http://bristol.indymedia.org page to an extent, thankfully, makes this less necessary, but it doesn't have such a Bristol / South West focus.

So...

The Bristol Social Forum & Bristol Stop-The-War message boards have now been opened up so that anyone can currently post to them from any email account (although posts will continue to be moderated and there may be a delay of a few days on the Bristol Social Forum so that emails can be sent out in more user friendly batches direct to people's inboxes.)

As it has a subscription base of 350+, it is a valuable outlet.

Bristol Social Forum. (Bristol / South West focussed posts please)
Anyone can post to:  bristolsocialforum@yahoogroups.com
Visit:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bristolsocialforum/
You can also subscribe if you like, instructions at bottom of page.

Bristol Stop The War. (National level posts are also welcome here)
Anyone can post to:  bristol-stop-the-war-coalition@yahoogroups.com
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bristol-stop-the-war-coalition/
99% of subscribers only receive the monthly newsletter direct to their inbox, but it is widely publicised as a public message board too, so it has it's uses.

Thanks.
