Re: [pygame] phpbb forum missing at pygame.org website

["Paulo Silva" <nitrofurano@xxxxxxxxx>]

i'm one example of this - since long time mailing list exists (and i
were using internet regularly for more than 10 years), and only now
with gmail i'm getting enough 'courage' to subscribe into mailing
lists - all the time i were (and will be for sure) much more addict of
'forae' (i'm not that good in latin language; is 'forae' the plural of
'forum'? ;-) )

as well, i think also is lots easier to point an url of a forum post
than locating an url of an archived post of mailing list... and
getting posters connecting each others by this way...
