Yeah, it's pretty horrible. The mail archives are a mess, too. This is
mainly because their interface for marking mails in the archives as spam
is possibly even worse than their spamfilters themselves; it *requires*
a javascript-initiated page refresh for every mail, which means I can't
even open the link on a separate tab page, but have to scroll down after
*each*and*every*mail*. Yuck.

I have no strong preference either way, but I agree it's time to Do
Something About It(TM).

I'm going to contact sourceforge support one time to see if there's
something they can or plan to do. If that doesn't result in a
satisfactory resolution, I'll go and see if I can find something better.

Google Groups is certainly an option, but there are others.
