Hi Octavian, I'm just a user, not associated with the Jquery guys, so maybe they have a better answer, but they described the problem in full on the web link he gave out earlier. Part of the problem is that it is completely unmanageable for them - there are 21,000 users on the list.
JQuery guys: Perhaps an autoresponder that states that the post will not be answered due to shutdown, a brief description of why, and a pointer to the forum?
