That argument sounds really 90ies, sorry to say that. Any forum since dozens of years is customable, you subscribe only to the subjects you like, you can get tailor made email digests etc.
I know the openSUSE forums, yes, but I think they really don't have the quality of support needed, no really good answers are found there.
You might just take my comments not as an insult, but as the impression one gets when trying to get more involved in openSUSE. And I use SUSE since 5.x, however I also think that you also have to adapt to the technical standards evolving over the time. SUSE community infrastructure seems not to have done that.

This is slightly (completely) OT, but I really had to convince myself to sign in to a mailing list one again.. You didn't have to: https://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php
Mailinglists with 90ies interfaces . Email offers a tried and true interface. Consistent interface, lack of change, is one of its attractions. Subscribers are here by their own choices, not forced. We get to have legible black on white, or any other color schemes of our own choosing, and optimally sized text, without jumping through hoops to get them. And, we need not be online, or load a bloated web application, to read our email.
Unwanted line wrapping of log files is avoided by either attaching to email, or pastebinning, the latter of which doesn't necessarily have to use http://susepaste.org/. In addition to other paste URLs there is the option to use personal web space.
I am really also appalled to hear network traffic limitations as a reason for this - time has moved on and we should not longer take 33.6k modems into account. . Not everyone can live where broadband or unmetered bandwidth are options. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
