I was suggested to give [1] a try and honestly speaking it really looks like a good alternative to the current forums at worldofgnome.org with a big plus: the platform will be maintained by the GNOME Sysadmin Team and possibly by a team of moderators.
As a note seems the worldofgnome.org's domain wasn't renewed in time and the website went down, I'll try and poke Alex about that asap. cheers, [1] http://www.discourse.org/ 2013/10/14 Christian Persch <c...@gnome.org> > Hi; > > we seem to promote forums.worldofgnome.org as our (semi?)official > forums: we link to it from the homepage of https://wiki.gnome.org/ under > 'Communication', and also, more importantly, allow it to use the GNOME > logo. > > However, those forums are overrun with spam: > > - *All* of the 'popular tags' (as seen on the right hand sidebar on the > forums) are spam words. > > - Looking at the list of all 'discussions' at > http://forums.worldofgnome.org/discussions shows that the content > itself is all spam, as well. > > So those forums are of no use to our users.
