I don't use Usenet or IRC, but hey I'm just one person and whatever the
majority believes is the best, probably is. Personally I do like webforums.
They are searchable and user friendly to even the newbe's. But maybe the
folks at iMatix don't want that much exposure and only want Xitami available
to us geeks. There's a reason why web forums have 10's of thousands of
users. INReview has a membership of over 90,000.

I agree, a usenet forum would be even better than a web forum.

Agreed. And I am a bit suprised that a web forum is being persued
instead of a usenet forum which would be accessable by both newsreader and
google, and archived by google as well. Personally, I would not use a web
forum. I find web forum UI's are mostly idiotic and do not have the
patience to wait for the web, slow updates and viewing one message at a
time. But if the IRC is going to be pushed, we might as well push it by
network rather than server, if the server is on a network.

I am bit surprised that a real-time community (IRC) option is being
persued instead of web forums which allow for differing schedules (time
zones) and IRC-unfriendly firewalls.

need to join the main IRC. You can find me on irc.qeast.net or
irc.mindspring.com (nicks; Docmarten and Netramcod)
Instead of telling people to join a server in particular, it might be
helpful to tell people which IRC Network to join. Net splits aside, if
you log into an efnet server you should be good to go.
