Well, truth be told, this mailing list gets so little traffic precisely because it is a mailing list. Most forums I am a member of have 1000's of messages a day compared to the few dozen this mailing list gets in a typical day. I have seen more SQLite questions answered on a single day in forums like stack overflow than are answered in this mailing list in a month or more. But then again, if this mailing list actually had a few hundred or thousand posts to it daily, I wouldn't tolerate the flood of emails into my inbox. As it stands, it works fine precisely because it is so low-volume. And of course, the quality of contributors is probably much higher because only the hard-core, dedicated users of SQLite sign up and contribute on this mailing list. But when I was debating between MySQL and SQLite for my project, I almost didn't choose SQLite because of the archaic look and feel of the sqlite.org website and support options available there. Flash for the sake of flash is not good, but sometimes you have to show people that you and your product are keeping up with the times, not already obsolete before you even download it and start using it.
