On the other hand, forums are one huge useless inaccessible archive which works really hard to prevent anyone from accessing the data it contains. It is considered a feature that users cannot access some posts so you cannot export them in an usable way without breaking the usage paradigm that administrators can limit access to posts. And if you want to see a forum without access limitations there is at least one - it's called 4chan ;-)
Sorry to say so: saying so about social media like Facebook, G+ is OK, but this is not true for (at least) the openSUSE forums.
site: forums.opensuse.org 'searchstring' in Google search
I exclude the "site: forums.opensuse.org" and if it happens to give SUSE forum results or Ubuntu forums results that look useful that's fine with me.
search function of the forums works fine too.
Not for me. I was not able to locate posts which the above method pointed out and turned out useful.
For example https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/439173-prevent-an-update-from-bei ng-installed-(zypper-package-locks) talks about package locks but when I put "package locks" in the forum search field and press search I get no results. This is not surprising at all. All forums I have used so far have broken search feature.
Thanks

I even dare to say that for a lot of people forums are more friendlier. All the subforums, different languages, an openSUSE version tagging sysotem, moderators that point out to new users how to create decent posts, and, last but not least NNTP access for those who don't want to use the web-interface.
NNTP access is nice. However, to not split the community in forum users and mailing list users it would be helpful to bridge that NNTP to mailing lists as appropriate. Unfortunately, mailing lists do not have the NNTP delete feature or the ability to move posts from one mailing list to another by a moderator. So it would require that people on the forums use more common sense than is commonplace in forums when posting.
Thanks

Fair enough. In the end a matter of personal preference, use what you're most comfortable with. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
