Re: [Trisquel-users] Modernizing the Trisquel forums

[strypey]

High-traffic mailing lists are fine if you are the kind of person who focuses  
on one project at a time, or has a fairly narrow range of interests. For  
magpies like myself who are involved at different levels in many different  
projects and communities, subscribing to mailing lists for all of these  
quickly creates an unmanageable email flood. I prefer low-traffic mailing  
lists for urgent/ important announcements, and forums for the high-traffic  
chitter-chatter.

Thus, although I am generally an email-centric person in my net use, I like  
to use the Trisquel forums via the web, not email. Also, it's easy to search  
the forums using the web. The only way to do this by email would be to keep  
an email archive of the entire forum on my hard drive, and try to search  
through that. No thanks.
