I also agree! I won't browse forums at all unless I have to lookup something. Would rather stay with the list.

Ditto... I don't have time to browse web-based forums and respond, but will take the time to browse and respond to email lists like this one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc A.

As a very active lurker and sometimes participant to this list, the idea of seeing a forum for this product is very disturbing to me. I watched the ColdFusion fusebox lists go from active, vibrant, intelligent lists to a fragmented, practically dead community almost overnight. People started "new" lists elsewhere because they didn't like the new forums, they started "new" lists elsewhere because they didn't like where the formerly-active lists were being hosted, etc. etc. Those communities are now mere shells of their former selves, and I would venture to say that there are many people that are using mail reader tools based on receiving emails from a listserv, to parse out and obtain the information of interest to them, and are going to be hesitant to simply "start using the forums"... in a way, the emails from the list are just "always there for us" to read right in our mail readers, carry with us on laptops, etc... web based forums don't really have the same usefulness (though they do have their own good points too).
