This is all correct. We had plenty of requests for a forum because many users don't want to subscribe to mailing lists to get support. That's why Brett offered to set up a phpBB for RoundCube. Of course the mailing lists won't disappear.

Can someone else vouch for the authenticity of this? I'm a personal fan of the mailling list and don't see what moving to a forum adds to the roundcube project.

Hello all Roundcube Developers (and those subscribed to this list).
This is Brett Patterson (the Content Manager) and I have a fairly straight-forward request / message.
The forum is now online, and thriving. You can visit it here: http://www.roundcubeforum.net It started from a discussion in the users list, and has now grown to over 150 members as of yesterday (April 1). I urge you all to check it out, and ask that you all register on the forums. There are sections for bug-reports and issues. We could really use some developer intervention so it doesn't seem like our forum is falling upon deaf ears. If and when you join the forum, please PM or email me immediately. I have a special user-group for you developers. In the PM or email please give me your name, your name as listed on the project page for developers. There's only 15, minus myself and Thomas, so 13. I hope I can get everyone on the forums. You don't have to frequent them every day, just check in and see if anything new has come up.
You can even subscribe to a category (Like "CVS Issues & Bugs") and when a new topic is made, you'll be notified via email.
Once again, please join the forums if you have not already. And please contact me so I can add you to the developers group! :)
Have a great week, and Roundcube is coming along very nicely!!
