Rats -- I just found out that Aaron doesn't read these message

this would happen -- the community has split, and now there are two
different places to go to get a decent chance of an answer.
Sigh... I wonder if filing a feature request to kill the forums
would help? Probably not. Anybody want to join me in campaigning
about this at REAL World?
This is not necessarily a bad thing...
Personally, I think that this doubles capacity instead of halving
it. Sure, there appear to be more rants on the NUG than question/
answers, but it doesn't seem like the volume of messages have changed
dramatically since the Forums came online.
I personally prefer the NUG (and mail lists in general) over forums
because they seem to be more efficient and time relevant to me. With
forums you need to actively poll for topics that interest you and
many people seem to prefer that method.
