[Gambas-user] mailing lists to forum topics

[Rob]

Hi, Gareth.  I realize you want to make your forum appear vital so 
that it'll draw new users in.  So far, though, by copying all the 
mailing lists posts to new forum topics, all you've done is make sure 
that those of us already on the mailing list who were keeping track 
of the forum via RSS will no longer do so.

I think that there's a reason none of the 3 or 4 prior Gambas forums 
has ever gotten critical mass, though linuxbasic.net still gets fairly 
regular traffic.  But creating this sort of gateway will only serve 
to alienate those of us who might have helped the kind of new users 
who are unwilling to use a mailing list for whatever reason.  Let 
them remain separate and the forum will live or die on its own merit.
