I would strongly suggest you all to subscribe to the Phoneboy list if not done 
so yet.

Don't put your effort in convincing Checkpoint to keep the list. Don't think 
for a second that Checkpoint even cares if we would like the list to be 
continued otherwise they would have asked before announcing its end. They don't 
care if it is a help to a lot of us and very much more convenient than a forum.

Hi Gil.

Thanks for the notification. The new site looks great. Well done!

I would like to point out however, that moving the list to the forum is a bad 
idea. Here's why:

Most of the professionals on this list answer queries because it is quick and 
convenient to do so via email. In general, web-based forums have less content 
than mailing lists. This is simply because it takes more time to monitor a 
forum, and most of us (generally speaking) do not spend all day on the web 
site. We DO always monitor our email though, so providing feedback or solutions 
is quick and easy.

Once this list is moved, I imagine that the amount of questions will increase, 
but the amount of feedback or solutions will drastically decrease. 

In short, over a period of time the overall value the forum provides will 
decrease, and then what is the point of having it at all?

In my opinion, a better idea would be to link the mailing list and the forum, 
so that list members are notified when web-based posts are added, and so that 
email responses are copied to the forum. That will allow the current 
professionals greater flexibility in providing solutions.

Use the skill and experience of the people on this list, don't tie our hands 
and make it difficult for us to help. That would just alienate us and frustrate 
those looking for help. It will also increase the amount of calls your support 
desk is handling, possibly leading to service degradation and loss of 
reputation.

I implore you to reconsider this course of action.

Kind Regards

Matthew Odendaal

Hello FW-1 list users.

I am glad to announce Check Point's new Support web site 
(www.checkpoint.com/support).
The new Support site includes an improved user interface and new features.
One of the new features is our Discussion Forums. Like the FW-1 list, the 
forums are an environment where customers are open to discuss issues with other 
customers.
However, in contrast to the mailing list the forums offer improved user 
interface and easy access to information.
I would like to invite you to use the Discussion Forums and will be glad to 
meet you there.
For this reason and after several years of operation, the FW-1 mailing list 
will be closed in the next days and its content will be placed in the 
"Miscellaneous" forum.

I will appreciate any comments and feedback that you may have about the Support 
web site, and the forums.

See you there!

Gil Sudai.
