Hi,
this is not an advertisement! I just found it in my mailbox. !!!The FreeBSD Project launched a official support forum !!! Announcement from Brad Davis. Quote:

Nice move but still a lot of issues there:

Wow.. vBulletin and all? now that's clearly a slap in the face.
|
|

Yes, that is why I recommended CarpetSmoker to use Vbulletin for these forums.

That place already has a Linux troll. I'm just not sure they shouldn't stick to mailing lists.

Developers will still use MLs but IMHO forums are much more comfortable to use then MLs.

To bad there isn't a gateway to link it with the mailing lists.
The comp.lang.ruby newsgroup, ruby-talk mailing list, and a comparable forum, all are chained together IIRC, and quite nice. Post to one, rest should get it eventually unless there's an issue.

Yes, I realize that. I am just wondering where all of these people (now twice the user base of this forum) came from in only a couple days. If people were looking for a forum all along, why weren't they coming here between the time bsdforums went down hill and the official FreeBSD Forums went up? I only mention bsdforums because it was one of the reasons cited for putting up the FreeBSD Forums almost like this one didn't exist.
I have nothing against the FreeBSD Forums, though. I look at them just like I look at the FreeBSD mailing lists. Just another place to find FreeBSD-specific information. As I said previously, I do enjoy this forum for its wider variety of topics. I also can't imagine the FreeBSD Forums being as fun or relaxed as this one is. |

Ofcourse, the colour theme can't be the only reason. unix.com appears to be quite popular inspite of having the same theme. |

Yep. I've noticed that. Maybe it'll settle down but things are pretty settled right here.

Regarding the style:
I am more than willing to accept and enable any submissions of decent quality, PM me for details and access to the test forums. Or as the OpenBSD people say: Shut up and hack! Quote:

I would if I could; but I am no artist.
> Shut up and hack! Now, that's something I can do. I sense an unwillingness to change the current theme, so before be bury this issue I would like to make a final point. I agree with DD that the fbsd forum is a bit hard on the eyes but atleast it looks/feels 'alive'. Going by the looks on this forum I feel as though it has no 'identity'. If you were making your homepage would you use the free template that possibly a thousand others are using? Or are you going to say that only content matters, nevermind that surfers don't care to give your page a second look? Are you going to use the same blue-on-blue like theme? Red is the colour of Fbsd and I suppose Obsd is yellow and Netbsd orange. But one things for sure blue is 'not' the colour of BSD. Last edited by ephemera; 20th November 2008 at 08:05 AM. |
