Bil Simser has create the NHibernate Users mailing list, which you can access here: http://groups.google.com/group/nhusers
I find mailing lists much easier to work with than forums, so I am really happy about it.

Wow, another list to get my address marked as spam :)
Maybe I'm missing something, but I find user mailing lists much more difficult to work with. Development mailing lists are usually useful because the developers all care about most of the conversations. But I hate having to sign up for the deluge of mail that I will get in order to ask a simple question and then unsubscribe from the mailing list again when I get an answer. And with NH, now I have two places I have to look when I have a question. It's a fragmented knowledge share -- that's definitely not easier to work with if you are a new user. If NH is going to abandon the forum, they should do it for a mechanism that makes it easy to ask questions, easy to follow only the conversations the user cares about, and they should make sure they migrate the old content over.
Winston,
The newsgroup is also accessible via web page, so you can use that instead.
The major point here is that we want to make it easier to share the conversation with minimal effort.
What mailing groups do you use, i know some of them such as castle, rhino, nhusers and maybe mvccontrib, what else?
I also find mailing groups easy to deal with, and at least it takes more attention when I see them in my mailbox.
