[20080509] DaemonForums - New *BSD Forums
Kienja Kenobi wrote me to advertize the new DaemonForums website: ``The community is one of the most important aspects of *BSD. Without it, new users are not likely to succeed. Without the support found in places such as mailing lists and forums, new users are not even likely to make an attempt at a new operating system. To meet the need for easily accessible, user-friendly forums for *BSD, DaemonForums has been created.

Why DaemonForums? Up until recently, BSDForums.org has been the authoritative resource for *BSD forum help. However, due to the inactivity of the sole administrator of BSDForums, the forums have become impossible to manage due to volumes of spam, outdated software, and an anti-free (as in freedom) copyright license. The two active moderators on BSDForums have been clearing spam at a non-stop pace for months, but they have been powerless to put a long-term end to any spam. The moderators have now given up the impossible battle at BSDForums, so soon it will be flooded by useless, junk posts that outweigh the useful, BSD-oriented information. Therefore, DaemonForums is filling the gap. (See: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59607)

DaemonForums hopes to become the one-stop resource for completely help-oriented *BSD information. The leading members of BSDForums have migrated to DaemonForums and are now spear-heading the movement to the new forums, which are built specifically to prevent spam and outlast any single administrator.''

Enjoy!
