For those who weren't around---I think I've mentioned this before, but...

In the mid double oughts, there was a third party FreeBSD forum, that also dealt with the other BSDs. For various reasons, the owner was no longer maintaining it, and though a few people offered to take over, it never came to pass. Therefore, as it was becoming useless, Carpetsmoker began this forum. It was going to be the replacement for the old FreeBSD forum.

Then, FreeBSD.org decided to have their own forums. Due to that, most FreeBSD posts, and let's face it, it is, by far, the most used of the BSDs. wound up going there. This forum became more oriented towards the other BSDs. I may still post a FreeBSD question here from time to time, because I feel more comfortable here, having known many of the members, through forums and such, since the early double oughts, but generally, I guess I consider this primarily an OpenBSD forum.
