Should we close the forum?
Lately, we’ve been getting quite a good amount of SPAM on “our forum”:http://forum.16bugs.com/ and while we’ve got protections in place, a few messages a day still manage to get through.
That’s why I was thinking about moving the forum to “Google Groups”:http://groups.google.com/ which would also allow to use it as a mailing list — it’d be nice to make sure we’re always on top of what’s happening.
Having a hosted forum is good, but I must say that the latest version of Google Groups is not bad either. Indeed, we decided to go that way when we launched “Pagety”:http://pagety.com/.
By using it for 16bugs, too, you’d be able to use it as a forum or as a mailing list. Plus, we should be better protected from SPAM, because of Google’s great filter.
What do you think? should we move it?
