I'm certainly not among "the best LiveCoders" or "in the know" but I
prefer the mailing list because of TIME. The topics and issue that
affect LC developers come to me (via email) and I can delete, skim,
archive, or read as I see fit faster than it would take me to select the
forum from a bookmark and read through the topics. Put simply, the
mailing list saves me time in keeping up with LC development issues. Of
course in that context, I do pay more attention to the Developer List
than the LC Use List, but both let me know of issues (and solutions)
other people discover that may affect projects I am working on.
I couldn't have put the above better myself, so all I can say is that I
agree with them
100%.
I have a link to the Use-List on my website; so anywhere in the world,
anywhen, with any old computer (like one I used with an
Ubuntu live-disc in an internet cafe in Turkey 6 years ago) I can access
this with a minimum of fuss.
The Forum is, like many fora, almost too clever for its own good:
frankly I cannot be bothered pondering down which "alleyway"
of discussion I am likely to find an answer to a problem, or down which
"side-street" I should start a new topic about another problem.

Here's my serious question. Why do so many people "in the know" use the list
instead of the official RunRev LiveCode forums? Forums have so many advantages over
mailing lists - they're easier to read, they're easier to search, you can access them
from anywhere, I could keep going. I'm just curious as to why the best LiveCoders spend
more time here than in the forums? There are people who participate in both - I see
Jacque and Klaus in there all the time and I probably owe Klaus a case of beer at this
point...
Anyway, just curious?
