Thank you Nathan and Guillermo.
It seems it's hard for the others to realize that the code is what's
important, and I feel like no matter what we do or say, it will never
be good enough for some. I am certain this topic is long from dead,
and i will have to address 'when are the forums coming back' at least
25 more times in the next 6 months. Oh well, such is life...

Wake up people! Its evolution. The forum was too accessible, way too
many script kiddies asking for help when they had no proper
foundation in javascript removing precious resources from mootools.
Tom posted earlier how he likes the direction of the site and how it
caters to developers. Let's respect that.
If its so bad look at the other frameworks. Jquery and Prototype use
google groups.
Yes we all get email but there are ways to manage it. I love having
the discussions this way, I am more on top of what is going on with
less effort. The only thing I could possibly see down the road is
having multiple mail lists.

Solutions to your problem:
- If you get too much correspondence: Abridged / Digest subscription
type of Google Groups
- If you don't like what Google Groups looks like: Nabble (forums-
like interface to a mailing list)
- If you want a full-fledged bulletin board: Mooforum
Enough has been said on this topic. Let's move on

Valerio,
I'd just like to maybe inject this one little thought. What happens if
we don't subscribe to the mailing list and come to the actual groups
webpage to find help or new information. That is the advantage of a
forum and the pain a lot of people are facing when coming here for the
first time. It took me a while to think about joining, but after a
while I stopped the email being sent to me. I get enough email, as I'm
sure everyone else on the internet can attest to.
That is why when I continue to ask about the state of things and I get
answers like just setup a filter I wonder if you guys really
understand peoples issues.
If anyone out there wants to take the mootools code and make a
commercial product out of it, so that I can pay for better support
than mootools provides, please do so. I know a lot of people who
would. At this point mootools seems as viable as wall street. Sure its
got a solid foundation, but take a look at what happens when the elite
don't care about the people.
And seriously, a happyface at the end of an email doesn't hide the
elitist attitude the spews from the mootools crew. All hail mootools
they hath spoken. (sorry for sandbagging all the nice ones)
