Hi,

After all the issues I had with the NNTP server (slow access and especially
timeouts), I finally found the solution. The problem seem to have been
caused by a faulty ADSL Router. Since a few weeks ago, we replaced our
router, and haven't had a single issue since. I also asked somebody (that
frequently experienced timeouts accessing the old NNTP server) to test
again. He could read all new messages in the tiopf.test newsgroup instantly
without any problems.

So the question I need to ask... What would you guys prefer?  Going back to
NNTP (news groups) or stay with the current mailing list setup?

There are pros and cons for each, but at this point I don't mind which one
we use. At the time I pushed the move to mailing list hard, because I had
no idea what was causing the problems in the NNTP server setup. But now
that obstacle is solved.

As for the message history from the newsgroups. I'm having a uphill battle
getting those into a mailing list archive. SourceForge.net gave up, marking
my request as closed - without completing the task. I then tried contacting
Gmane directly and three weeks later, and I still haven't even got a reply.
One thing is for sure, I don't want to discard the message history, because
it is a major source of information for tiOPF.

Please let me know your thoughts on this...

Regards,
  - Graeme -
