This list used to be more active, but it was never a support list. I assume that
the goal of creating the list was to allow users to discuss problems amongst
themselves and share their experiences and solutions.
FLAC is a free, open-source project started by an individual, with help from a
few dedicated people over the years. It's not exactly the kind of situation
where there's money to pay support staff.
If you can search the archives, you'll probably find a great deal of
discussion about MSVC. Perhaps it would be better to look at the sibling mailing
list: [Flac-dev] where programming environments are discussed. I seem to recall
many messages there about Windows and MSVC. Personally, I left Windows behind in
the early nineties and never looked back, so I can't help you.
In response to your other question, I don't really know whether there is
another discussion group for FLAC users or developers. Perhaps someone else
knows. Documentation has certainly moved around, and there's been a second
wave of developers after Josh Coalson, the creator, consider FLAC to be a
completed success.

but I noticed there've been no posts to this list since about 2018. Is that
because support has moved somewhere else? (an online forum maybe?) Thanks...
