New Zaurus Forums

[Ling]

In an effort to get us back to discussion, I have created a new forum with similar structure at:

http://zaurus.freeforums.org

Don't want to start a food fight and not interested in competition, just tired of no discussion and no updates. You can also check out the discussion at Antikx site at:

Have a good weekend.

I can't imagine how a new forum would help in this but... I'll try to keep in mind this new forums exists.

[speculatrix]

well, if this forum goes down again, perhaps we should simply jump ship to Linq's forum, and use Antikz's site to carry a snapshot of the old forum?

[speculatrix]

more thoughts...


I think the key is whether dz and the other admins give us some explanation. This forum is maybe the most important part of zaurus support/community, and whilst it's not life and death to us, the permanent loss of this forum would be take a long time to "heal" in that it would fragment the community badly until another forum gained momentum.

aye.  I agree with speculatrix.  While I admire and understand the effort/time/money that the admins put into the forums, these unfortunate downages have been rather frustrating to all of us here and a bit scary to those who are really scared by the recent death of the zaurus line.

Uh yeah. I have a feeling you will get no explanation and yet folks will stay anyway. I will watch the new forum a while, but if it is not going to be used, I am not going to fool with approving users, etc. I will give it a month and if not used, I will kill it. Won't hurt my feelings, I have plenty to do. Oh well. We'll see.

I think I've read some explanation about last problem. Something about a hardware failure in the server. In my first post I just launch the question that came to me while reading the text I quoted. Your forum is welcome... but, if you tell me you'll kill it for such a reason, I'm not sure if it's on the same "no explanations" argument.

Not sure I understand your point, but welcome to the forum, I processed your registration. Bottom line, if folks use it, it will be there.
