Well, forums are certainly different from mailing lists. Having
buried myself in a couple projects and dropped off the radar for
awhile, it was really weird surfacing today and finding the lists
disappearing, finding an announcement about it from a REAL person I'd
never heard of, and seeing the explanation of "we considered all
sides of this carefully and are doing it our way". I'm all for
throwing new people into the fire for cheap entertainment, but it
doesn't make it less painful to watch.
In the plugin forum, I see one really good thing and one really bad.
The really good is that the question I asked got a quick, thoughtful
answer and the thread could easily be incorporated into a technical
FAQ at the top of the forum. The bad is that there is a lot of noise
(e.g. people seeking plugin developers) which in my mail client, I
would just delete.
So I'm giving the forums a chance, because I think they could be
better for technical issues, while at the same time looking out for
ways to keep connected with the community.

I really like RB, but this is unacceptable. Many of RB's short
comings I overlooked since it had such a strong community. Since
RS and its staff, see no value in keeping the community, I see no
value in giving them more money.
