Do folks think we should try that? Or do people really think we should kill the mailing list and go to a forum?
I have never said the first word about killing any mailing list. I put up a forum so users would have a singe place to post to, and not have to post to the first forum they ran into that had a Wine section in it.
Anyone here can go to any Linux related forum and find post in them about Wine.... Wine users asking questions to others who may or may not be interested in Wine in the slightest way.
I have personally seen people post and ask a question regarding Wine and others have tried there best to steer them away from Wine and the *EVIL* M$ platform software....
With answers like, if you run a game in Wine *you* are only hurting Linux as this removes incentive for game developers to port to Linux.
Or scaring people with the notion a virus could take down there system or turn it into a spam bot!
So that I'm clear, I will repeat myself and say........ I *don't* intend to kill the users mailing list. I do however intend to kill the fact that people didn't have a Wine centric forum to post in, until this morning anyway.
If you want to join the forum that is totally your prerogative, its open to the public.
