No, that's not it. Okay, maybe it was one of the last straws, but
we've been talking about moving to a forum for a couple years now. If

To be honest, I've never been a fan of forums, either. But after
spending some time in the jQuery forum, I'm starting to appreciate its
advantages over a plain mailing list. I wish there were a solution out
there that is ideal for everyone. Unfortunately, though, every
solution comes with its own set of compromises.
