I use that forum daily, and find it good enough at what it does. There are some minor tweaks I'd like to see, such as telling new users that their question/answer/comment is waiting for moderation, so that they don't try to make the same posts two or more times (All that happens is that a moderator will decline the dupes and accept the original, without penalty.) making my job as a moderator a tad easier. Also, some of the reasons for declining a post should either be rephrased or removed, but that's just cosmetic. I don't see any need for it to be in active development in the sense of adding new bells, whistles and gongs as long as there's somebody available who is both willing and able to patch any bugs that show up. I wouldn't want this mailing list to migrate to an instance of askbot, because mailing lists and forums serve different needs in different ways.
