Sorry to hear that you dislike Discuss so much you won't be coming along there Alan.
I'd like to point out though that the decision to move to a forum was in fact not at something coming from a pointy haired boss but rather something we had discussed internally in the team for quite some while. What we have found is that the lack of searching and categories and easy navigation on the mailing list made users, especially newcomers, ask the same questions over and over again. We in the core Akka team spend quite some time moderating and answering questions here and we want a tool where we (and others in the community ofc) can help as many users as possible with minimum effort. We think that the categories and tags etc. in discuss will help us do that. We also hope this will help reduce some of the noise in the Gitter channels. In addition to that we also see synergies in bringing the Lagom and Play communities closer, this may be a bigger gain for those projects as they are to some extent built on top of Akka but it also brings benefits to the Akka community in growing it, hopefully leading to more people being able to help out and answer questions, that may previously have been lurking in the other two project mailing lists only. I don't think this will change your mind, but felt that the picture you painted was a bit unfair and I wanted to clarify that this was a move driven by us engineers. ..
