Re: [pfSense Support] forums vs mailing list
good grief. no forum, and people bitch moan and complain. offer a forum, and different people bitch moan and complain. I think you should all get over it. The list isn't going away. The forum is just another support option. ideally we could integrate all these disparate systems that we now have, but the fact is we don't have the time to do that and attempt to deliver a firewall project too, for the foreseeable future. infrastructure takes up more than enough time as is. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] forums vs mailing list
I am always a bigger fan of forums, where do I find this forum? Of course, will take the PfSense help wherever it's offered :) I just think forums have more features, easier to use and I don't have to download and store a bunch of stuff I don't care about, instead I can browse the threads or search for what I need. I know there are many that prefer list but I just can't see the point of having my email client notifying me of new mail every two seconds for a bunch of emails I could care less about most times. --Todd - Original Message - From: Holger Bauer To: support@pfsense.com Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 6:36 PM Subject: AW: [pfSense Support] forums vs mailing list The forum was a kind of "experiment".

Re: [pfSense Support] forums vs mailing list
I agree here, forums are okay but theres nothing like a solid mailing list for support, specially when offline and need to find information in your mail store, and CANT get on the web.
