Hi Austin,
Here are a few specific reasons why I think it will be superior:
1. There is official support/monitoring by Cadence technical staff.
2. I like that the different SPB specialties/subjects are split into
dedicated forums for, Modeling, SI, PCB Design, IC packaging and SKILL.
That way I can filter the incoming e-mail and pay closest attention to
the subjects I care about the most.
3. The cdnusers site offers one-stop shopping for a variety of user
goodies over and above the forum.
4. To quote myself: " In addition to the normal forum posts that you are
accustomed to seeing on Freelists, the moderators will also be
initiating specific technical discussions. It is hoped these directed
technical discussions will provide Cadence with a better understanding
of how customers are currently using the tools as well as exposing tool
needs/wants for the future."
5. The cdnusers forums will ultimately be exposed to more users which
equates to an overall larger community knowledge base.
Regards,
Randy

Hi Randy,
Though I appreciate your points, there is absolutely nothing that
prevents
all that from being done on this list. Cadence technical people can
post to
this list (and do monitor this list), and moderators (or anyone) can
initiate specific technical discussions.
Why, specifically, do you believe the new forum will be superior?
Regards,
Austin
