[TYPO3-english] Why there is not an " official " online Forum for TYPO3 ?

I'm aware of that problem (I was the one who fixed it).

For some reason, the configuration of one mailing list was broken and 
caused the synchronization to stop. Therefore, every list after that (in 
alphabetical order) was not synchronized:

- typo3-dev => OK
- typo3-german => OK
- typo3-english => OK
- ...
- broken list => stop
- ...
- typo3-ug-dutch => FAIL
- typo3-ug-* => FAIL

And many more lists, of course.

However, after I found the reason for that problem some weeks ago, the 
error should be gone now. (Isn't it?)

I'm not aware of this. Still the case?

Sure there is a lot of traffic on the mailing list server, but Digital 
District (who are currently hosting the server) have never contacted us 
because of traffic getting too high.

Always! :-) I'm open for critism if there is anything that needs to be 
fixed. However, it seems to me the system is working perfect since my 
latest fix...
