I think you're overstating things a bit; I've used far worse
groupware. I'm seeing the "discussions are down" message but a few
minutes later they came back. Amazon was down for 2 hours on Friday,
so Google Groups being down a little isn't so bad.
I'm not sure why the first three (sticky) threads are closed.
You should now be able to upload a file (not there is a limit of 100MB
total for all files). I uploaded the quick reference. I also opened up
page editing (sadly doesn't work in safari) and added an FAQ.

Yeah, don't get me wrong! I'm grateful to all the support I can get,
and I'm not trying to undermine Alcor (or Google :P ) in any way. I
just think that there may be a better solution.
If there's enough response to this topic (and if Alcor is happy), I'm
sure we can come up with something.

I have to say that I think Google Groups is probably the worst
communal communications tool I've ever used. However, I'm not the guy
in charge and I'm just happy to have any quicksilver community at
all.

Well, this has just made me hate Google Groups even more :P
It just claimed this post 'didn't exist', and I've just been told '
Discussions aren't available right now. We're sorry. Try again
shortly. '
Not true! :S

Well,
After posting around here for a while, I've recently seen how
limiting
Google's Groups can be.
I wasn't able to upload a file, and I also wasn't able to write
this
post in the ' The forum is dead. Long live the forum... er...
group.
' topic (anybody know why?)
I was just wondering if everybody else is happy with Google Groups,
or
whether anybody has any alternatives?
I have a feeling the Group may be harming Quicksilver's image. I've
replied to countless posts over at macrumors.com about quicksilver,
trying to help and directing them to post here, only to get the
answer
that 'the Group is dead' or something similar.
If we're all happy with the Group, then that's fine. If not then I
(and I'm sure other people would be to) am happy to set up a
support
forum running a more user-friendly software (phpbb?) which might
make
life a bit easier.
What's everybody's thoughts?
