Should I switch forum to Google Groups?

[darkfrog]

As most (if not all) of you know I'm in the process of migrating to a new server.  With this move I've done my best to utilize the features available to open-source projects like Google Code's SVN hosting, Google Apps for e-mail, etc.  The forum is something I've been debating moving over to Google Groups instead of continuing to host it myself with SMF.

My initial take is that it doesn't look as nice or as easy to navigate as SMF forums, but I'd like feedback from you guys what you want to use going forward.  You can only vote if you're a member, but if you'd like to respond without creating an account simply respond below with your thoughts.

I will be making most of the final move over the weekend, so case your vote soon.

Although the voting favored moving, I decided against it as the features of Google Groups was *far* less than SMF.  The move is complete now and hopefully everything is working well.

G'day Sir darkfrog! My filesystem with a lot of my work physically crashed a few weeks ago, now I've started the process of recollecting/creating my lost data. I can't access jgn downloads e.g. http://www.captiveimagination.com/download/dependencies/jgn_src.jar
http://captiveimagination.com/download/dependencies/magicbeans_src.jar http://svn.javagn.org/core/trunk

I will be making most of the final move over the weekend

Guess you've already moved to Google Groups...

Ah, I have forgotten to put out build files on the new server.

You can access SVN though from http://jgn.googlecode.com/svn

Let me know if you have any problems.
