Few years ago I sent a message to wine-devel list with subject "Do we need a forum?" in reply to Austin English message: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-February/062734.html This started long discussion but what Austin English said in the beginning turned out to be true - most users prefer forums. Here is quote from Austin English: "the 'older' crowd prefers newsgroups, but 'younger' people prefer message boards. Similar to how more advanced users prefer CLI, but inexperienced/novices use GUI. It seems to me we're trying to help the gui type of person"
