Yeah, that's been an online name of mine from my first timid forays into the Internet. This site (that is, the one we're one) was actually going to replace that site--the admin of the site got ill, said he'd transfer it to some people, never did, and carpetsmoker started this one up. However, shortly after that, FreeBSD.org started their own forums, so this one become more of a secondary FreeBSD resource, then, as time went on, became more of an OpenBSD forum (though the members here are friendly, and all BSD discussion is welcome.)

Might be the one referenced above. ... For a while it did not load with a Nginx error ... then it reappeared in an archival-only format ... however it has openbsd, freebsd etc information spanning many topics and years. (20?? > 2009 IIRC, very approximate. ... for the interests of those reading this thread, someone may recall its name and post it before I do. If I can find the scrap of paper or the file while lists its name. Ran across freebsdforums.org which has snippets of information BSD... but not of a current nature.

Ah, that was another one. That ran at the same time as the main FreeBSD forums (or BSD forums, as mentioned, I've forgotten) That was a relatively small forum where everyone pretty much knew each other. I don't know what happened to it, exactly, I do remember the main admin had a child and their time became limited.

This thread has been separated from its parent:
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=8919 ...as the subject has radically moved from Windows 10 to discussing the predecessor to this site. |

The BSDNexus forums just "petered out"; it was offline for months last year. I happened to know because I wanted to look something up I once posted there. After some trouble I managed to convince the right people to get it running again; it's now in "read-only" mode... Some of us still hang out at #bsd on chat.taucher.net btw (me, andre, wintellect, maxlor).

Ehm, wintellect and andre usually during working hours UTC, and maxlor in the evening, UTC. 2 Guinness makes me not want to do TZ conversions; sorry :-(

Yes - that's the name. Much better than "guy who runs the dry cleaner BSD site." I remember that forum was very lively. I guess that's how it is when you're (almost) the only game in town. I remember the nexus site too, but didn't hang out there much. Sorry for derailing the topic. I see you've made a new thread with appropriate title. |

It was bsdforums.org. Phoenix and I were moderators there, but we did not have the appropiate administrative powers to deal with spammers there.
The owner of bsdforums.org did not have time himself and/or enough trust in us to give us the administrative privileges to handle the serious spamming issue. He also could not be reached by email. In several emergency situations I had to send a fax to the administrative contact of the "whois" entry. That was the only way to reach him. Actually I never knew his name. In beginning of 2008 I just bought a new house and was too busy with moving and renovating the new place to start a new forum myself. Phoenix was very busy too. That is when Carpetsmoker came in the picture. I recommended him the Vbulletin software. My suggestion to use "BSD" in the forum name came too late, he already registered daemonforums.org. At the same time some people of the FreeBSD project, seeing the value of a forum platform for FreeBSD, were working on an alternative. Because FreeBSD is the most popular of the three BSDs (Free, Open en Net) we, daemonforums.org, lost the majority of the members to their new official FreeBSD only forum. (forums.freebsd.org) RE: BSDnexus The BSDnexus people started their forum when bsdforums.org introduced some minor ICT related advertisements. I remember that after some time they lost their first bsdnexus forum contents because of a security issue and had to start al over again.

A fax ? that's weird
I understand you wanted to insert the "BSD" part in the name, but daemonforums is still a good name, just more figurative. And nowadays, it looks more like an OpenBSD forum...

chat.taucher.net is run by Maxlor and is a mini-network of 3 or 4 very small channels. I have no idea why you can't join; I use Pidgin and that had worked for years...
