As the new moderation rules <https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md>say, other forums may make more *sense* for certain kinds of posts, but the goal in mentioning them is to raise awareness, not discourage people from posting here. Again, it would be great if this group moved back to being more of a clearinghouse for the Node community. Right now, it’s mostly just a help channel for newbies (which is useful, but not what the group used to be). I know from conversations and Twitter that a lot of the longtime members of the Node community who used to be on this list gave up on it long ago. Maybe that can’t be reversed, but I’d like to give it a shot. But it's only my personal opinion. > I appreciate the feedback!
