Personally, I don't use a nodelist, I relay everything through my hub,
but I rely on the hub to be problem free so daily is good.

In the day and age of hyper fast internet and mega storage, I can't
imagine sending out a daily list is much more than trivial, unless you
have to do manual processing...in which case something is wrong :)

I use the daily nodelist here.

More links are connected to the NODELIST area than the DAILYLIST area, so the weekly nodelist still seems to be the norm.

There is no manual processing involved at all...

I use the weekly. Nothing catastrophic enough has happened for me to switch to the daily. As a matter of fact, I've missed a few "problems" where dailies were missing entire nets and/or zones, but were fixed by the time the weekly came out. *shrug*

Or creates more chances of problems. ;)

Honestly, I don't care either way. If you were to eliminate the weekly I'd switch, but so long as you're not going to, I probably won't as I don't see a need to.

Also, I enjoy people's panties getting in a bunch when I set up a new node and someone notices when they post before the upcoming Friday. zOMG! :D

I don't need to really 'use' them, but I do check them out quite often.

My RC system uses the Z1DAILY, but I do also make the weekly nodelist and diff archives available to anyone who wants them. My MBSE development system deliberately still uses the weekly nodelist & diff, so I can make sure that still works.

Yes, which is why I use the daily on my main system.

I convert the Z1DAILY list with https://stargate.org.uk/nl2binkd/ each night to binkd format, which I include in my binkd.conf.

I used to get them, but they are no longer available on my uplink. I'm sure he would add them for me if I asked, at least as a pass-through area.

I've never used a daily nodelist since I've been in Fidonet (1996).

My logic is that Fidonet doesn't change that much any more and the
weekly nodelist should suffice.

Just don't ask that in NODELIST_POLICE...
