Affinity when you say right forum I disagree.  Google Groups to which I am
signed up some direct to my gmail account- this centralises amass of
information for me - I agree nabble is rather awkward to view - google
groups (browsing archives not in gmail) is not bad at all perhaps this is
just taste.  A great benefit of google groups is that its passive
involvement the cakephpforum.net requires (more) involved management.

Further gmail has filters - so I can set emails from certain list members to
be starred foreinstance Ad7Six and others - with gmail notifier I can see
emails as the arrive (I am growing to dislike the traditional format of
forum - with features offer within gmail)

For code highlighting posters can use pastbin - so I don't consider this a
problem

I can't see what can be achieved with the forums you talk of that can not be
done with ggroups and since a great deal of information has been amassed
here it seems extremely worth while retaining this.   I have recently been
getting in to twitter and have found that to very useful ina novel way (much
cake information coming to me)

For me I felt that the cakephpforum (it now seems more active perhaps
numbers of those who wish another style of forum has grown) when I was last
there look inactive compared to this group - so I felt that would learn much
more watching messages here & checking bakery. now with the that I am
following @***cakephp <http://twitter.com/cakephp>* on twitter information

happy baking to all
