I would love to keep the mailing lists alive as well, although I'm not vehemently against forums.
However, I think it's worth noting that the interchange between the lists and the old forums is (I believe) nonexistent at this point. There are a ton of topics on the forums that most people here aren't aware of, and none of what is posted here ends up on the forums. In other words, there's effectively a small, detached community of people on the list side, and a (probably much larger) separate community on the forums who either don't know the lists exist, or don't care enough to figure out how to use them. Granted, this keeps the signal-to-noise ratio of the lists at a very nice level... For those of you planning to jump ship, while I'm not on the new forums yet myself, I think it should be possible to set up your forum account so you receive an email whenever a new topic is posted, or a daily topic digest if you preferred. This would make it behave somewhat more like a mailing list, except you would need to click a link instead of "reply" to respond. Food for thought, maybe. -Nathan
