As announced back in the beginning of February, our transition to Google Groups instead of the Snort Forums is now taking place.
The old Snort forums found at https://forums.snort.org, are now depreciated in favor of moving to a more versatile Google Groups solution.
For those of you that haven't yet participated in the Google Groups, the seem to be working out quite well so far, and we encourage everyone to go there and sign up. Thanks for working with us during this transition.
