Any decent on-line forum would be much better than these digium email lists. The lists are poorly formatted
In what way are they poorly formatted? If you want all the text in 24 point red, then set your email client to do that.
there is no easy way to post code
You can either post it inline or, if a list allows it, as an attachment. (It's a mailman setting.)
you cannot neatly quote anyone
That's your mail client's fault.
the search function in the archive is elementary at best
Mailman limitation. But there are search add-ons for that, or you can just google with a site qualifier. Why re-invent the wheel?
there is no possibility for active users to moderate their area of interest
The -users list is admittedly very high traffic and could benefit from being broken into other lists based on major categories of discussion. We already have several auxiliary lists. What others would be useful?
there is no private messaging
It's called "email".
I'm not opposed to forums, but your arguments don't sway me. (I'd actually prefer a newsgroup to either a mailing list or forum, because I don't need to download the message bodies for stuff I'm not interested in. But I can't seem to post from the gmane gateway.)
