why is this forum "invisible"?

in other words, why isn't this sub-forum accessible from the main winamp forum url: http://forums.winamp.com/

I've ALWAYS wondered that as well.....don't really care..just curious. I bet ml_iPod would get more popular if we were a sub-forum category.

It's because ml_iPod is not an official part of Winamp nor is it supported by Nullsoft.
It's just an obligingness from their side to host the forum for us.
The bad thing is: The main search does not find threads in the ml_iPod forum either

(-->FAQ?)

and when will got it setup (when he was doing the project), it was done to control how many rubbish/useless posts made it into here - a public forum would just get far too much abuse as well (don't remember seeing this one affected by the spam bots all that much).

not even sure if those that be know about this forum, heh (would have thought so at some point)
