The forum at hurleur.com is a joke,
We don't need separate forums other than the mailing-list unless those forums have different focuses than the main mailing-list<<
well, i think it's pretty intimidating to ask really basic questions on the list, but it doesn't seem so silly on the forum. i wish more users would go on there and just post questions and answers and patches.
the mailing list turns into a bit of a pissing contest sometimes. i think that gets a bit initimidating for new users. i don't think it would hurt at all if the forum could pick up the pace a bit. just to dismiss it as a joke is to miss the point i think.
