Okay, so here's Jeremy's reply from LQ.org:

Benjamin,

    We'd be more than happy to host the Rock Linux forums.  That being said, at
this time there is unfortunately no way to enable NNTP or access the forums via
a mailing list.  The latter is something we may look into at some point in the
future, but it's nothing something that will be implemented in the near future.
 If you have any other questions, let me know.

So, all things considered, I guess I could add the LQ.org forum to my "check
daily" list, but it'd be a check of once or twice a day, which isn't much
considering that I'm checking my mails once every 30-60 minutes when I'm on a
machine with Internetconnection.

Personally, I wouldn't mind. It would probably help us in acquiring desperately
needed manpower here and there.

Any other opinions about this?


Greetings,
	Benjamin
