Right now, I'm confused as to what's been going on with sipx or it's various flavors and sites and wiki's. I've not been very active because things are running well at the moment but I do stay on the list and look at everything that flows. I wish however that there was ONE main forum somewhere with all of the various flavors, with notes on all of this activity that is going on.
By the time I post something to this list, I'll be way out of touch because I can't keep track of so many things. Forums are tons more useful than mailing lists. It's a constant barrage of everything in the list. Forums can be searched, threads can be subscribed to, you have a history of your own posts for when you want to refer back to replies, all of that of course depends on which forum software is used. And why use all this proprietary nonsense? The very best and well known forums out there are so very flexible, offer an insane amount of features. For example, SMF is incredibly diverse and widely used. Anyhow, I don't even know what I'm posting to, just saw that folks were talking about forums vs list again so wanted to add my two cents :).
