it appears "yes" (if you mean grouping/threading). filtering sub-categories via 
[subject] seems to work so far.

Although I don't have stats, it is my impression that the Adobe Flex 
Forums have seen a big rise in usage since the recent switch in forum 
software, perhaps some in favor of this list. 

I'd argue that the e-mail support of the new forums is not there yet, 
though. 

I've never had an e-mail response I sent show up on the correct thread; 
but they have shown up in misplaced threads on the dreamweaver and 
illustrator forums.

Clearly the numbers are going down. This can't be good. We're entering
into a Flex recession.

I propose a stimulus plan. We need to boost the numbers by having a
long discussion about how the numbers are going down. This will make
Flex look good and ensure all our livelihoods (at the cost of employer
time -- but who cares!).

Re: [flexcoders] Is this list declining?

2009-06-01 Thread Alan Rother
Mailing lists and users groups tend to explode when a product is new and
start to wane off when it becomes mature. There are many reasons why, but
yes leading that is there are more / better resources to get answers. I like
to think it's partly because the [product has gotten better as well...

My user group has been around for 10 years now and there is a lot of
apathy amongst even the most doe hard members. They all show up when a new
version gets released.

I think we can expect the traffic on the list to pick back up after Gumbo
gets released.
