I don't know, but I can tell you that I won't participate. I loathe web fora with a passion. Aside from the universally terrible UI, the lack of threading, the broken quoting, the pointless formatting, the vast signatures, the multiple different markup formats, and all the other evils of the medium, any comms system which requires me to go to umpteen different websites to see what's new via umpteen different UIs is one I won't use. I participate in dozens of communities around the internet via my email client, with one UI, one posting format, one notifications system, in one place via one tool. > They don't have curb appeal? I don't know what "curb appeal" means. If anyone has a way to combine mailing lists with web fora, then I would consider it. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: [email protected] Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
