Forums

Yes, it may be easier for a lot of us to have all this come to our mailboxes (God knows I don't want another site to visit - though at the same time, I don't like this stuff in my inbox either) but for software like Yojimbo forums are going to be a good self-help area, as well as &quo

Re: Forums = NO!

I am completely with you. I hate forums. They take way too long to go through, does not fit in with my daily workflow, and frankly, when a list moves to a forum, I rarely visit it. Heck, I hate digest lists for the same reason. I want to be able to filter, delete, and respond as needed

As nothing in this thread is specifically relevant to Yojimbo, may we please move on? Indeed, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition… However, as this appears to be the only objection to my tagging thoughts i think it's reasonable to take it as tacit approval from the entire community

Forums are Usenet, only worse - who ever invented that mechanic did something wrong imho. oh not another mailing list that wants to become a forum..I think the crucial factor is that you have to go and look. Admittedly I don't post much here, but I would not bother with a forum. Macspee

Re: Forums = NO!

Forums = YES!!! I strongly suggest and support the use of phpBB or some such thing. I guess I hae no problem with signing up for one of these things, given the huge increase in utility, ease of searching, etc. I for one can never find anything in mailing list archives. JEH

Vanilla is a really lightweight and pleasant forum system to use that was pretty much developed by people in your same bucket; they also hate how bloated forums have become. That's exactly the one I couldn't remember the name of, great example of what i mean. Set up an insta

Re: Forums = NO!

I think forum thingies are completely sucky. And if anyone is on a slow line, they are almost unusable. This I agree with almost completely, they tend to be over-featured bloated monsters complete with an overbearing preponderance for large avatar images and signatures. This needn't be the
