[mythtv-users] Marriage of Email List and Forum, Can't we all just get along!!

[Vincent K. Britton]

I am aware of the other forums but I am a member of this one.  It's here
I seem to get the best responses.

 

This solution would give forum functionality to the "Official Mail
List".  

 

I personally like the mail list.  However I maintain a forum for my
wife.  Some of here members wanted mail list functionality which is how
I came across this.  Now all here users are happy and that makes here
happy.  And a happy wife is important when you are trying to drop $300+
on pcHDTV cards ;-)

 

Just thought that it had the potential to help here as well.  Some of
the more 'heated' discussions here are around "can we move this to a
forum" posts.

 

I think this would help cut down on the repeated same ole questions as
new users would, by default, be a member of the forum first.  They are
much more likely to search for an answer there then to search the
existing archives.  Most people join a list to find an answer to a
question, at least that is my impression.

	Some people like Lists, some like Forums.  I have been looking
for a marriage of both and I think I found it.

	 

I know this topic comes up from time to time, but have you looked at the
already existing unoffical forums? Maybe you could collaborate you
efforts to improve what we have now.

http://mythtvtalk.com/forum/
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/ - Knoppmyth specific, but still has good
info.

I really don't think the MythTV community needs YASWBF (Yet Another Slow
Web Based Forum) to disseminate good info.

BTW, I still don't understand the fascination with forums. Is it the
avatars? The rankings? The hideous animated gifs and mini-movies? If so,
host them on your own bandwidth, and place a TEXT link in your TEXT
signature to them.
