I 2nd this. I use both, but I find the list is much easier to use. I can scan it quickly looking for topics that interest me. I can post to it quickly. I get answers quickly. Fancy graphics, contributor points and “participation badges” are fluff. To answer that lady from the old Wendy’s commercials: THIS is where the beef is….

Baltimore II Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What is it about the ARSlist that keeps you here rather than Communities ** Daniel, While I do utilize the community a bit (not much) it's a simple thing for me. This is easier, it is tried and true. Frankly, I find the whole community site a horrid pain. Very confusing and not user friendly.

Also, thank you for maintaining the list and keeping it available to us this long. *Why are you more active here? I’m not especially active on either forum at the moment because of my workload, but I read the ARSList on a regular basis because it’s easier. *What makes the ARSlist different\unique\special versus Communities. This is much easier to use for me. I feel like part of the problem is how things have to be categorized on BMCDN to a very granular degree. It’s not hard to use, but requires a little more thought than an email does. Plus, there is the “sticky” aspect that I see things appear here from people that I know are knowledgeable. Email is also a lot easier to consume so I can passively scan large volumes of ARSList postings where I can’t do that on BMCDN. *Do you miss the ARSlist Awards and sessions or see this list as a commodity now and just want to use it. I’ve never really participated in the awards either way. I think community building is great but I barely have much time to participate.
