Closing the forum

Hi,
The forum is very little used, and mostly just a Q&A with me when it is.
Most of the posts we get through are spam these days, which take a bit
of effort to can each time. The original user demand hasn't really
materialised into a regular community on the forum. The gobolinux-users
list will usually be a better and more responsive venue for people, and
I think the presence of the forum is an attractive nuisance more than
anything.

For those reasons, I'm proposing to close the forum down in a couple of
weeks' time. There are good arguments and reasons for having forums, but
I don't think it's something we can support at this point. If there's
viable demand in the future we could set some up again, but right now
directing people to the mailing lists and IRC seems more appropriate.

If anyone objects strongly to this plan, they should make themselves
known and we'll see what we can do, but otherwise I will shut down the
forums soon.

I've also posted this message on the forum itself, since this may not be
the best place to reach the right audience who might care.
-Michael
