Messages must be asterisk related.I can guarantee you that very few people who know anything about * will be posting to that site. It's a horrible interface, as nearly all forums that try to duplicate mailing lists are. Do you really think Linux/UNIX CLI guys want to deal with a web site where <insert their own favorite mail reader here> will do just fine? Highly technical forums, especially those related to primarily CLI tools, fail miserably. Have you not been reading this list as to the feelings of the regular contributors and answer-providers on this issue? Daryl G.

Forums are more desirable for the newbie user. I realize people are set the their ways. thats fine :) daryl@introspect.net wrote:>>-----Original Message----- >>From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com >>[mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of David Burr >>Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 4:31 PM >>To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com >>Subject: [Asterisk-Users] CONTEST: Top Posters win 80G Hard Drive >> >> >>We have a new contest starting today! >> >>The first three members to post 300 messages at >>http://www.asterisk.bz >>will win a _80Gig Hard Drive!_ >> >>Its >>quite simple.
