As a codger, I much prefer mailing lists. They're "push" technology in contrast to forums being "pull". For me, forums are something that takes affirmative action to access and search, while email is just pushed in front of me.
As another codger, +1.
I would take elimination of the mailing lists as a very bad sign indeed. IMHO communities are held together with a common communication channel: email.
Both Richard and Gertjan were making poor jokes. However, we have in fact long had a major issue with the forums. They have been running on ancient payware for years, and we are unable to find anyone who is willing to support them. We _do_ currently have some ongoing effort for a migration, but in the same tongue-in-cheek style, our forums should have been killed off years ago. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (25.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
