nothing to do with superiority, but IMHO a different kind og use.

I rarely ask on this list because I use digikam mostly for tagging and 
the way digikam works fits mu needs, but I read -time permitting- the 
posts and learn much from them.

After what I delete the post if not really essential.

So I'm a long time user

If one wants only to ask a question and them do not mean to follow, the 
forum is best.

I also use imap for my mails, so I have the same mails for every 
computer I have to use, or web mail if I don't have a computer of my own.

One of the best forum system I know is this one:

http://www2.mgcontact.eu/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=74

an instance of phpBB - specially the left icon on each thread that says 
if you have already read the thread or not and send you at the post 
you,have to read.

But the fact is I use many mailing lists and have only one interface, 
when every forum have it's one

also forum needs permanent access to the net (problematic when moving, 
specially on foreign countries, when mail needs only some minutes dayly 
access

anyway, this is a matter of taste. I do not object to somebody creating 
a digikam forum

I just notice there is already a digikam forum

https://www.digikam.org/forum/

and a forum on kde for digikam

https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=255
