Hi, I agree that dead, empty forums are confusing and should be deleted. However, in general, for gone-dead forums with lots of information I prefer them to be closed, but available with sticky posts or notices, since useful information can be googled up. It is a drawback of forums (compared to e.g. mailing lists) that the hoster or forum administrators deletes them or the site goes down and everything is lost (now I am really digressing). I think these forums are in the first category anyway. Cheers, Tormod -- Ubuntu-ch mailing list Ubuntu-ch@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ch
