<P>Quoting <A href="mailto:atd7@cornell.edu">atd7@cornell.edu</A>: <BR>><BR>> Quoting David <<A href="mailto:myth@dgreaves.com">myth@dgreaves.com</A>>: <BR>> <BR>> > Hmm, When Henk said this just two days ago he bottom posted it - obviously <BR>> > that didn't work <BR>> > <BR>> > Gossamer-Threads already has this functionality: <BR>> > <A href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/</A> <BR>> > <BR>> > Unless you want something totaly different? <BR>> I think that's exactly what he's saying. <BR>><BR>> A forum allows one to subdivide the topic of "MythTV" further, making searches <BR>> and organization of information easier. <BR>><BR>> Does Gossamer Threads split the mailing list by topic? No. <BR>> Does it allow for "sticky" posts with important information and FAQs? No. <BR>><BR>> People may argue that wikis provide the latter, but
in my experience, wikis are <BR>> horrendously disorganized and we'd all be better off if they didn't exist. Just <BR>> look at the ALSA support wiki... God forbid you actually want to find any <BR>> useful information there. (ALSA has to be one of the worst documented projects <BR>> in the open source world thanks to their assumption that a wiki is a good way to <BR>> maintain documentation.) </P>
<P>Lads - Lets stop this argument... It is pointless.<BR>I found a forum a while ago that covers MythTV and other recorders at<BR><A href="http://pvrguide.no-ip.com">http://pvrguide.no-ip.com</A><BR>It has how-to's, guides and help like that.</P>
<P>If you would like to use a forum for chatting and working things outs then use that.<BR>If you hate forums then do not use it.</P>
<P>but.....PLEASE...... lets stop argueing about if forums are good / bad / ugly etc.</P>
