I find it more than irritating if projects reject bug reports only because they don't follow certain rules or are sent to the "-user" mailinglist instead to the bugtracker. I am not picky here. If it needs extra work to gather all bug reports, I'll do the work as long as the user don't have to do it.

There are projects where you can ask in IRC or forums as often as you want, you don't get an answer, but via the mailing list you are almost guaranteed to reach somebody who has an answer.

Hi
Your own forum could lead to more work then it is worth, we have open a
forum ( on SourceForge), were our project is hostet, without the need of
registration, to keep the barrier low. Just with a captcha to prevent
spam. But that didn't help and the forum is fluted with spam every day.
For that reason I think about to close the forum, I wouldn't spent
several hours a day with remove spam from there.
But indeed, most people witch posting there do it, because there is no
need to register first.
So a low barrier have also a negative side.
greets
hermann
