I wonder if anyone knows why sites like Stack Overflow and those of ours
I mentioned are seeing more volume, while this list and all MySQL fora
are seeing much, much less.

The major benefit I see on StackOverflow and the like, is the rating system on the comments, and to some extent the rating system for users.

On the other hand, I find that the signal-to-noise ratio on older media like mailing lists and IRC tends to be much more favourable, presumably because it is where the dinosaurs dwell :-)



A lot of new users may only use the MySQL Forums

Forum use is radically down also.

and not even know about this mailing list. I guess this email-based peer-to-peer exchange is slowly disappearing into the background like the old usenet newsgroups, eh?

http://forums.mysql.com/

My problem is a lack of time. I can monitor the mailing lists or the forums but rarely both while still doing my regular job of handling the official service requests.
