Frank,
For a silver list we'd all have to meet and show each other our darkroom 
prints and slides - not a bad idea as such, but a bit heavy on 
travelling costs.
When you get down to it, everything being shown on the web is digital, 
whether film+scan  or sensor recorded - we can't get away from it.
