Actually I setup a vBulletin forum for MySQL over at www.mysqlforums.com and I am the moderator of the MySQL and Server Configuration forums over at www.vbulletin.com/forum/
I've been keeping an archive of the mailing lists, mainly for my own purposes to search through old questions and answers from these lists, but I certainly would like to offer it to others that would find it useful for searching for older threads and for those that prefer a web-based solution over email lists.

I would vote in favor of using vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) it's got forums for talk like this, web-based, and runs off of the MySQL server as a back-end. An example in action is vbulletin itself or community.installshield.com. Very slick indeed. Kelly FYI, I'm somewhat biased in favor of it because I have set up this program and know how well it works. It's a great example of PHP and MySQL working together. >Hi Matt, > >I am sure this has been said before so my apologies if I bore! > >Most mail clients let you setup rules.
