I used to follow MeteorJS and one of the main reasons for their switch from
google groups to discourse was the spam google groups attracted once they
got to some level of popularity.
So it might be out of necessity that we move... eventually.

I really like the Discourse forum and think it works very good

I agree for all the same reasons, and I'll add that threaded discussions go
off-topic quickly and can be hard to follow.
Someone asked about migration from google-groups to discourse; Some cursory
searching shows that it's possible, however, google groups doesn't have an

I like Google Groups, it's simple and it works fine. I also like Discourse.
It may be a good alternative if you are looking for a more complete forum
that is modern. I don't like Reddit, it doesn't feel like a forum nor a
mailing list, and it has advertisement.

I'm a bit reluctant of using Reddit for this:
1. It's hard to keep things sorted by topic. One of the main reasons for
moving away from groups is that we could separate feature requests from
newbie help from advanced help from library announcements. You can't do
that on reddit.
2. It's susceptibl
Another +1 for reddit here, I don't use the mailing list aspects of things
but for one who does reddit would be a -1, but there are so many
aggregators for reddit that I've no doubt a mailing list thing is made by
someone or a hundred.

Fine by me. I check Reddit as often as I check this mailing list :)

I'm on board for Reddit, tentatively. I know /r/learnelm has been proposed
in other fora. I'm not convinced that Reddit has its users best interests
at heart, however, so I'm kind of touching it from a distance.
That said, I don't think it can replace a mailing list in general. There's

What's the story on importing old Google groups messages? Do we lose years
of searchable history?

The Elixir forum (which has an Elm section if anyone wants to give it a
try) has resolved its mailing list oddities fairly well now and can be used
'as' a mailing list in addition to a forum, so it satisfies both sides
quite well now. An Elm Forum could do the same.

In Elixir, we moved to a Discourse forum. Works pretty well though I assume
there was some kickback by people who like mailing lists but in general
people are happy.

Ok, so there 's clearly a desire for something better, but some folks
prefer google groups as a mailing list. Elm makes a deliberate appeal to
ease-of-use and simplicity, which is at odds with using google groups as a
community forum.
Past discussions aside, I think it's worth revisiting.

Suggestion: Use the google group's search facility to check whether the thing
you propose has been discussed before. :-)
Hint: It's the case, and I think that even the "discourse" suggestion was made
and discussed then.

I find google groups to be a poor experience on many different levels, and
I'm wondering if there is any motivation for using it other than "it's free
