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.
