An alternative suggestion: Grow the community by having more presence on popular social media platforms, rather than shutting down the old forums? All technical discussions would be directed to please join the mailing list, but we could use the other platforms to make announcements, etc. In other words, to drum up new "business" for NuttX by being as visible as possible. As to the old Google Group, is it possible to set an auto-reply but not stop posts? The auto-reply would direct people to the mailing list, but remind them that the Google Group (and other venues) are kept for archival purposes. Nathan
