Please, do not close down the email list.. for me it is too perfect
+1 on that
I looked at the forum, didnt find it so useful, I prefer to just browse
the mails, pick up the odd fragment of information,
Wasn't really sure I wanted to pass my email onto that site anyway, so I
didn't register.

Yeah,
I see what you mean now...
I won't login to a forum ever day whereas I will read these emails
and
post answers to questions if I can help - or learn something from
someone else's post. Too bad there's not a better solution
available...
Better solutions are readily available. If the owners and masters of
the list are willing to delegate some authority. There are plenty of
list solutions out there, that accommodate upwards of 20,000 members.
Other mailing list solutions exist. This is known, and beside the
point. As
Karl mentioned here
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/ea62a629b6c8200d
the move to a forum was in the works for years, not so much because
of the
particular provider we had, but because so many more people,
especially new
users, could benefit so much more from a forum.
I just responded on a similar thread and went through some of the
advantages
I see in a forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/5c1f435be0e3aeab
I don't mean to start a debate. Each is a different model with
different
tools and technologies, and each has pros and cons. I was simply
responding
to a request to detail some advantages we/I see in a web forum over a
mailing list.
- Richard
Many of those advantages are advantages only for the mailing list
admins and not for the users, and the disadvantages are too big for
some users.
But as I said, it is normal for everyone to decide to make his/her
life as easy as possible, and it is normal that the mailing lists
admins took this decision, but please don't kill the mailing lists,
because even if they won't be administered anymore and if they will
be hardly spammed, they are a much better medium than a forum.
A Mercedes is better than an Opel, but if I would provide you a
Mercedes with only one door, I don't think you'll like it, although I
can show more advantages for it. :-)
Thanks.
Octavian
