I'm not a big forum user in general. I think the forum model must be carried out very carefully for it to be effective.
I think the LinuxCNC forum is very good. I think the CNCZone is not so good. I used to be a regular reader/contributor on the CNCZone but the hassle factor was too high. Then I was getting emails from the CNCZone... saying I haven't on at the forum recently, blah blah blah. What a turn off! My spam blocker killed those. The CNCZone needs work. I prefer email lists as I think it is more effective time wise and I can follow the threads efficiently, while following a number of threads on a forum can be very difficult.
