I also agree with Indu's points. I feel like the mailing list is more for hackers. Typical MXNet users are machine learning scientists and not necessarily like discussing problems in a hacker's way. Since we already have a discussion forum, why should we create a new one and get users confused

I prefer the discuss forum over email for following reasons: 1. It is easier for newcomers. People can login using Facebook, Twitter or GitHub Id 2. The format is much more readable for people who search for something in a search engine and land on the page. 3. Markdown support makes it easier
