Personally I don't see any real advantages to having a forum in addition to a mailing list, but we got fed up arguing about it. Some maintenance needs to be performed before we can open the forum, I expect that to be done in the next week or two. If anyone wants to team up with Eric to make a Nebula skin for the forum that'd be great. -+ enlight +- |
