The forums may be replaced or supplemented in the future with something else. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with what we have right now, since it does not cater to our current usage patterns. A lot of the threads on these boards feel like chatrooms, where each post is the equivalent of an instant message. I feel that forum posts should be more similar to emails than to IMs, so perhaps it might just be for the best to adopt or create another system of communication that fits our needs. I've already tried to cut down on the "forum baggage" by streamlining and changing various parts, but I'm not really sure if it's helping.
i dunno.. maybe an IRC channel might help but i'm not sure if there will be enough people in there to make it interesting..
