The check out the following places for "Smartian" fun:

A Get Smart Mailing List!

Yes, Virginia, there is a Get Smart mailing list! It's great and easy to join. The mailing list is really a whole lot of fun. I've pretty much been on it since the beginning of time. I cannot rightly give a breakdown of how many messages are posted in a day because this fluctuates. The list has members from all over the world, although most of us are Aussies and Yankees.

You can join by going here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/get_smart

PLEASE read the list guidelines at Carl's Site (it's his list after all) BEFORE you join! Reading the rules is of the utmost importance!

The Chatter's List

This, the off-topic, mailing list was founded by the regular Friday night chatters. Any topic can be discussed on this list as long as it's NOT about Get Smart. The only rule is that everyone must be nice! It's quite a fun list and those that enjoyed chat and like email should hop on in. To join, go right here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gschatters

The GSFF list

That is the Get Smart Fan Fiction list operated by moi. For more information go here.

The Smrn

What's a SMRN? Way back in October of 1996, the mighty David Black founded the first GS mailing list. [get-smart@smrn.com] which was subsequently touted by Carl Birkmeyer. The list started out with just a few Americans, Canadians, and Aussies. As time wore on, the SMRN list grew and became the victim of spammers. In early spring of 1999 the GS Mailing list was moved over to Listbot and in July of 2001 it was moved again to Yahoo! Groups.

The SMRN was not to be forgotten in this switch-over haze. There were those dissidents that stood by their list and remained. There were also the few, but proud, that forgot how to unsubscribe. At any rate, power of this list was seized by El Presidenté and has remained that way since.

Presently all the SMRN doesn't even get any spam. I don't even know if the darn thing works anymore. If you'd like to join and risk getting us on an actual thread, then follow these instructions:

To Subscribe:

Send an email to: get-smart-request@smrn.com In the message field, write "subscribe" (do leave off the quotation marks) and leave the subject line empty. Confirmation that you have subscribe will be emailed automatically.

To send a message, use this address get-smart@smrn.com (not the address above).

If you're one of the lost souls that is still on the SMRN and you want to unsubscribe (and heavens to Betsy, Why, gosh-darn-it?) Follow these highly sensitive instructions to the hilt:

To Unsubscribe:

Send an email to: get-smart-request@smrn.com This time, put the word "unsubscribe" (again without quotes) as the subject text.

The Get Smart Live Journal Group

Are you into Live Journal? Well by Jove there's a livejournal group for Get Smart fans! Go here and check it out: http://www.livejournal.com/community/getsmartfans/

Get Smart Chat!

Would you believe a Get Smart chat? Believe! There is a Get Smart chat and it's a blast! Chat is presently being sponsored (or something of that nature) by Yahoo! Groups. To join chat, you must sign up with Yahoo and join Carl's get_smart group. If you already are registered with Yahoo, then all you need to do is join the get_smart group. So what are you waiting for? Oh. Better instructions. Right. Better instructions, more info, and the scheduled chat times can be found at Carl's Site.
