Founded by [[Dwight Kidder]] in 1997 and soon taken over by [[R. Hentzel]], the QB mailing list was a replacement for the [[Usenet group]], which had become impossible to use by late 1996. It delivered messages by direct e-mail to subscribers. The list ceased to be used by late 2000 due to the increasing popularity of the [[Yahoo group]], and due to R. Hentzel's access to the Iowa State e-mail system expiring. For that three-year interval, it was the main forum for communication about collegiate quizbowl.

Despite being affected by some of the more banal tendencies of the late-1990s Internet (such as the unironic use of ''oh so insightful'' Pink Floyd quotes as signatures), the list is a valuable resource for finding tournament results, gauging the attitude of quizbowl from that time, mining chunks of unbelievable chutzpah from [[anti-quizbowl quizbowlers]] trying to defend [[College Bowl]], and researching quizbowl history thanks to the frequent posts by personalities from the Southeastern circuit of the 1980s.
