You must understand that :

- The mailing-list is FREELY hosting by the sourceforge server. As the 
website. Nothing is hosted by my own machine.

- I receive the mailing-list automatically AND quickly in my mailbox. I'm not 
obliged to luanch a browser and go to a slow forum. I have to read all the 
mails ! So I prefer a mailing-list.

Otherwise, nothing is moderated on the mailing-list, except that messages too 
big (> 256K) are discarded.

I could make several specialized mailing-list, but it will become unclear for 
the beginner where to ask a question.

But if someone want to make a forum on Gambas, it is free. But I can't assure 
that I will participate!
