We already have an active forum here for everything, so we 
don't need another one. No point splitting the community. Just 
leave the qznc bot their to cross post announcements, but I 
don't think there's any value in trying to have, or promote, 
two separate forums.


Personally I feel like the more the merrier.

It's a good point, but I do feel that we should at least add some helpful links 
like in the rust subreddit sidebar.

It's the default, and is kinda boring. Compare with the rust 
subreddit:


  http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/

While not great, it's much better than ours.

Being a moderator, I can change the look/feel of it by 
modifying the CSS:


  https://www.reddit.com/wiki/styling

But, as you all have pointed out to me innummerable times, I 
have no taste in styling. So anyone want to give me a hand?


Also, so far I haven't figured out how to change the sidebar, 
which would be nice to insert links to dlang.org, etc., into.


I feel ashamed, i didn't even know this subreddit existed.
