That's an impressive amount of time to work without support :-) > Before that I was using google to look for answers about OSG, and from what > I've experienced, search results lead more often to the forum than to > content of the mailing list, so IMHO removing the forum would not be a good > idea. All forum traffic is mirrored on the mailing list and visa-versa so in theory the same content should be available in the mailing list archives as they are on the forum. I'd guess that the difference will be the search engines are listing the forum content higher, the non forum content should be their too. > But I agree that advertising a feature that is not working may make > new users turn around, as younger ppl are more used to forums and are afraid > of old-shool mailing list (I am :P). Be afraid, be very afriad some might even email you!!! ;-) Funny how different generations of internet users have differnet affinities. I wonder if this might also be why volunterring to help might also be an aspect of this new generation that is differnet. Everyone knows how to use but not contribute directly to management of forums. It does just require rolling ones sleeve up to learn new stuff like using email!
