is there a better grails forum that this?

Hi, we love grails, but this forum has to serious issues:

it uses google groups, which is essentially a mailing list. I don't want to subscribe to a mailing list to make a post. This was acceptable in the early 90's, but this is 2020!
There are very few posts.

Is there a more active forum using a proper forum server, other than stackoverflow?

Hey,

The Slack space[1] is lively. If you wish to post one-off questions, then SO is your best best IMHO.

Cheers,

Mihai.

I am sorry that you don’t think the mailing list is acceptable. It
isn’t widely used any longer but I think we should leave it here for
now.

That is correct. Several years ago we moved a lot of our primary
support traffic to StackOverflow. I encourage folks to use
StackOverflow for technical questions that have a specific answer and
aren’t likely to require much conversation. For items that are more
likely to require conversation and/or don’t have a specific technical
answer, I encourage folks to use our Slack channel or this mailing list.
Slack is much more active than the mailing list

StackOverflow and our Slack channel are where 95% of the traffic exists.
I encourage to you use either or both of those.

Best of luck!
