It isn't web-based now, the web frontend is just a bonus, a way to
access the archive through the web instead of commands to the listserv
in mail. The e-groups web frontend isn't even fully functional, you
can't manage your subscription-options through it for instance.

Conculture is worse-off, as it is actuallyhosted by egroups.

Ditto.

As I said, conlang-l is hosted by the listserv at brown.edu, no need to
move it. All I propose is to (re)move the web-archive at egroups.
