Yes... I would gladly put up with some spam to keep all messages flowing 
to

my inbox,
rather than having to use a forum.  I can filter the spam as it arrives...

The mailing list is great but what's expected to happen shortly after
they stop moderating it, reportedly a significant effort, is the list
will be overrun by spammers. Hopefully their fears are unfounded but
I'm not holding my breath.

Nice knowin' y'all. ;)



Well, this is not important at all. If the mailing list subscribers will
dislike that spam so much, they will be able to unsubscribe anytime, but
maybe some of them will happily accept that spam and also like to continue
using the list.

I am subscribed to the list with a Gmail address that takes care of most 
of
the spam, and I also have an anti-spam application for other email 
accounts

I use, so it is easier to use a spammed mailing list than a forum.

Why not have both?  (beside possible spammers)...

I use the CF-Talk list constantly and it's email- and forum-based.
Messages go to both email and the forum.  Does the forum
have "subscribe to this thread" capability?

What the URL for the forum, anyway?

If the forum is prefered by some users, that's OK, but I don't think it is a
good idea to kill the mailing lists, because there are many users that
prefer reading a mailing list.

The forums will *always* be much less accessible for the blind users for
example so it would be much helpful if both ways of communicating will
coexist.

If some of the users won't like the forum, they would be able to use the
mailing lists, while if other users wouldn't want to receive the emails from
the mailing list they could just unsubscribe, so the mailing lists won't

Hi there,

I just noticed this group is still having lots of activity.  I for one
am very pleased to see we're moving to actual forum on
forum.jquery.com, but it appears that moderation isn't done there yet
(or I'm just too impatient...)

Are we supposed to continue posting here, or was my first idea right
to start using the new forum?


Thanks so much for a fantastic library, great support, and a
marvellous spirit :)

David.

Hi, David...

What do you find more appealing about forums than an email list?

Hi there,

I just noticed this group is still having lots of activity.  I for one am
very pleased to see we're moving to actual forum on forum.jquery.com, but it
appears that moderation isn't done there yet (or I'm just too impatient...)

Are we supposed to continue posting here, or was my first idea right to
start using the new forum?


Thanks so much for a fantastic library, great support, and a marvellous
spirit :)
