Hello Sam,

Hmmm, I kind of think that there is a need for different forums.
LibreOffice and OpenOffice are two different projects
That´s not what I understand. LibreOffice is the further development
of OpenOffice.org. It´s not a different project. Except Oracle, it´s
the same people.
looks great, but there are more advertisements than contents....
I hope you're exaggerating about the ads!
The statement about the ratio of content and ads is not from me.
It´s from [email protected]
Sorry, but
the hard truth of the matter is that community forums for large projects
are very expensive.
As a proof of the contrary http://de.openoffice.info is free of ads.
(3) Why force forum users to sign up and create an account? At least
http://de.openoffice.org has been running for many years without the
need for users to sign up. AFAIK there is no bad experience about that.
I tried this for a long time on one forum, but allowing posts without
registration just leads to nonstop spam.
As a proof of the contrary http://de.openoffice.info does not
require user registration. Spam is avoided by CAPTCHA.
Please don´t get me wrong: I do not condemn the offer of yet another
forum. I am sure, this is meant as a support for the development of
our community, which we are witnessing right now. But I doubt that
it´s needed and that it´s worth the effort, since there is good
experience with the existing.
Stefan
