Hi folks, Since LMM left is anyone looking after the ubuntu-uk forum (from a loco POV) I notice that LMM is still a forum admin? http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=274 After reading the IRC thread, I wondered if anyone had thought about the forums too? By the way, if you're used to mail

I have to admit, when I was a new user, I much preferred the Forums over mailing lists/IRC, mainly (I think) because of the pretty colours. As time goes on however, I find myself on the forums less and less, and taking part in mailing list discussions more and more. (I also seem to end up on IRC mo

Is it only me that finds mailing lists to be very non user friendly? And IRC is quite good when there is a meeting going on but there is not much which can get done when there is just a few active members. Is anyone in support of trying to get a forum on ubuntuforums.org under their LoCo section?
