Yea, but the ads are unobtrusive and 90% of the time I don't even notice them. The other 10% are when I look at them just to see what kind of random things are being displayed (I've seen some very strange ads come up and I try to figure out what could have triggered them. It's fun).
Forums aren't nearly as convenient. As Ian mentioned, you have to choose to go to them on your own to see what's available. Mailing lists let you keep a central place to go for everything (your mail client of choice). I find mailing lists much more flexible and responsive, as I have full control over how I look at it and I don't have to go out of my way to see if anything has been added to the list. Also, mailing lists feel more like a 'standard' than forums, as they all use the same 'interface', instead of the widely varying software and interfaces for forums. -Andy On 5/24/07, Matthias Dittgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Gmail is that good in searching your mails, that it pops up advertising related to the words within your (private) mails! Look at the right side! Yeah! Each of us, who is using Gmail for flashcoders is storing the same information - which is the definition of redundance, isn't it? So, don't get me wrong, I like Flashcoders Mailinglist, because it just works for me, but why do Forums or (Google) Groups not work as well? There are at least two german web forums (flashforum.de and flashhilfe.de), which are highly used, but it can't beat the international discussions of Flashcoders. And: I would also not split Flashcoders.. Matthias 2007/5/24, Andy Herrman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I second that suggestion. Gmail is really good for storing mailing > lists.
