about "[vbox-users] Closing this mailing-list"
Hi,
we've decided to close the vbox-users mailing list as the traffic
is very low and the VBox forums at http://forums.virtualbox.org/
are a better place to ask related questions. Of course, before
opening a new topic you should search the forum if your answer is
already there.
Hi Frank,
It's a shame to do so. I'll be bounded by the web interface for my
interfaction. So cumbersome. Not that it matters but I doubt I'll
transfer to the forums. I don't like klunky front-ends.
+1. i *despise* web-based forums. why not just leave the mailing
list as is, and those who want to stay here can stay, and others can
move over to the forums. is there any harm in simply letting the
mailing list carry on as is?
+1 I'm disabled and use speech recognition. webforums drive recognition speed
and accuracy downward, break more in the presence speech recognition errors, and
are less accessible (need hands to operate).
web forums make the BBSs of the 1980's look fast and functional.
** alternative solution. **
ditch the forum and use a private nntp server with a web server front end for
the forumites.
