I have to confess that I got confused over the exact list
I responded to an e-mail which came from openroad-developers list getting
a response that my response was being held for moderator approval.
Coincidentally shortly after I got an email from Steve - saying the lists
were being shut down.
I have no idea why I got the original e-mail from openroad-developers list
, I didn't look at the list name and apparently I am not a list member ,
I assumed it was from openroad-users at googlegroups.com
Paul's points are well made. The new community forum is IMHO really awful
, I tried a few times to get information from it and gave in. I don't have
time to casually browse forums for topics that I might be able to
contribute to (like the one below). The old fashioned way via lists in
email works really well.
I was under the , maybe false , impression that the 'previous' community
forum fed into openroad-users at googlegroups.com ,

Hi all,
Email list servers have an important place in the community as do forums
and chat rooms. I think openroad-developer at lists.ingres.com and
openroad-community at lists.com are double ups for similar lists so I don’t
object to shutting these list servers.
It is important for Mr / Ms Surfer to be able to search the net, quickly
find a valid link with useful content with an invitation to follow a link
to a open and active community without having to be restricted by
membership protocols.
I prefer the simplicity of community mailing lists over the forums.
info-ingres at lists.planetingres.org and openroad-users at googlegroups.com
provide web portals for people who prefer to browse and search. I find
forums a bit cumbersome, and they are unavailable when I am 30km in the
air. In my opinion the new “community” forum website is a backwards step
in performance, functionality and presentation. Load times are
significantly increased, the default corporate colours are difficult to
work with. The content is still far behind the old pages.
I hope we can continue to support a two way feed from the forums to the
info-ingres email list server. Looking forward to hooking up
Openroad-users one day.
Cheers

I agree with Allan.
That community website has stopped my community participation.
