I couldn't agree more about lua using a forum, I use forums everyday (such as gamedev.net) and find them much easier than the mailing list. I don't particularly like my e-mail account recording all o

No offense meant, but maybe it is because, it's under the I.N.T. forum,... having a brand on top of the forum would be much more appealing than the list, it is a dedicated forum Lua craves for, in my

I don't know about the rest of the team, but I must confess I have never used a forum in my life. Sorry for my ignorance, but a list archive like gmane isn't quite the same as a forum, at least for

I'd agree that I'm not entirely sure about the long-term effectiveness of the obfuscation system used by the archive, and I'd rather just not have the addresses displayed. But, I do get close to zero

Please, no! No no no no no! Forums are awful -- they're slow, clunky, dreadful from a usability issue, they force your users to go and get the messages rather than delivering them to your users' inbo
