In order to play devils advocate here (I'm not saying if I'm on one side of the fence or the other):
1) The group isn't a great archive for problems as the specific problems tend to be buried in email threads. 2) For a lot of the problems on here, support.heroku.com is probably the best place to go. 3) The StackOverflow tag on SO is remarkably active: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/heroku 3) Google have already done this with some success: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-appengine/Z6XN_64cA7w Neil On Wednesday, 25 April 2012 at 18:12, Alex Chaffee wrote: > fIn the latest Heroku Newsletter[1], it says this group will be killed > at the end of April, and suggests instead to go to support.heroku.com > (http://support.heroku.com) > (which is private) or stackoverflow.com (http://stackoverflow.com).
