Well...
First, I certainly notice the increase in traffic -- that's a good thing, as I see a lot of questions coming in over and over again. Mind, they're not "stupid" questions, but they're similarly themed.
But they all point to folks actually using the server. And I think it's a testament to the GF team that very few of these questions are "I can't GF to work". The questions are more arcane and in depth than that.
Regarding v3, how much of that traffic should simply be on the developers list vs this one?
Mind prefixing with v3, I'm ambivalent.
I'm also seriously considering subscribing to the mailing list and moving away from the forums, these forums don't manage the traffic well, IMHO. Particularly deep threads.
