Shutting Down the Forums

Postby GnomeIllusionist on Sun Mar 21, 2010 12:13 pm

I think the best course of action is to shut the forums down. In the interim I would recommend moving to e-mail, Google Buzz and Wave for group discussions.

Long term the GnomeLogic web team will be looking at bringing back phpBB with tighter registration control, or maybe using a different bulletin board system (maybe even a home-drown solution).

I have changed the forum settings to block any new registrations, deleted the offending posts and warned the users who made them. If it continues I will warn them two more times then delete the accounts, in accordance with our forum rules. I apologise if I deleted any valid threads while doing so.

If anyone wants to register on the forum from now on, they should contact one of the team members and we will register you manually.

That aside Hyper has solved the issue and the forums will remain open, despite thier lack of activity.

Contrary to popular belief, I strongly oppose most wrong doings in the world.
The fact that I am responsible for a large percentage of them is another matter entirely.
