I’m not against improvements but I like the current simplicity of the forum software and I personally never warmed to Google Groups for whatever aesthetic, usability and privacy reasons.

What’s missing for me is the ability to search for a phrase in quotation marks (though I recall Alexander saying one can do that somehow by putting the URL through a Google search).

Also, it’s possible to download the entire forum contents as a text file (see left column, when you’re logged in), and you can search it to your heart’s content using a free external text editor like Notepad++
