Hi folks,  
As previously announced, we’ve made this Google Group readonly.

The wider Ansible Community is moving to [The Ansible Community Forum](http://forum.ansible.com/)

As you may have heard, Ansible has a new [forum](https://www.ansible.com/blog/welcome-to-the-new-ansible-community-forum)[1] and we think that’s a better way to conduct our discussions. It gives better tooling to manage help requests and discussions, connects with the wider Ansible community, gives more recognition to those supporting others. In terms of asynchronous discussions, and when viewed through the changing demographics of how people interact with projects (already the forum has had significantly more traffic than our lists), it’s just a better way for us to go.

This group won’t be deleted, so your bookmarks will still work, and at some point we’ll be able to import the list content to the forum so it’s all in one place.

You can still use email to interact with the forum too - we have a guide available [here](http://forum.ansible.com/t/guide-to-interacting-with-this-site-by-email/33)[2] for doing that. Note that you’ll need to use the web UI or API to _start_ a new topic, but all replies can be handled entirely by mail.

You can register you account [here](http://forum.ansible.com/signup)[3] if you haven’t already and there is a dedicated [link](http://forum.ansible.com/new-topic?category=help&tags=awx)[4] for creating a new AWX issue. If you have any questions, please reply here, ask in [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/%23awx:ansible.com)[5], or ask in the forum help [category](http://forum.ansible.com/c/forum-guide-feedback/2)[6].

**In Summary**

1. [Signup for the Forum](http://forum.ansible.com/signup)
2. If you prefer email, [enable that](http://forum.ansible.com/t/guide-to-interacting-with-this-site-by-email/33)
3. Follow the [AWX tag](http://forum.ansible.com/tag/awx)

If you aren’t aware, we also have an [AWX YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@ansible-awx)
