FossForums

**Cew27** · #1 12th Oct 2008, 11:03

ok i just set up some forums specifically for linux and open source. Foss stands for free open source software, the intention of my forums is clear, to be free. its run by the users for the users the forum software i chose (punbb) is lightweight, free released under the gnu gpl.
i set the forum up because i am sick off all the arrogent know-it-alls trolling the other forums who abuse people who know less than them from up on their high horse. if you have a problem we will do our best to solve it.
if you want to help us get it going please join and tell other open source users about it.

thanks

Don't normally allow self promotion but I'll let this go as a one off.

I'm not at all familiar with PunBB but by the looks of it it looks pretty custom.

Awesome job! Really clean, really simple and just a really nice layout.

I think I prefer the green, I seem to think you used to have a blue theme, but the green with the turtle certainly looks good.

Have you thought about adding a Wiki as well?

Who stole your avatar?

SG has had that one for ages...

Actually, you stole it from me. I noticed you used it on your own forums, which I didn't really care about. You're forums have only been up for about 3 months if that, and I have had this avatar for a long time, since you were first banned.

I think accusing me of stealing it on here is just plain rude.

It's ridiculous accusing anyone of stealing avatars (nearly all the time anyway) as they aren't made by the user, but found on the internet, so unless you made the avatar, it's not stealing from you.

As I said, I had no problem with him using the same avatar as me.

But I find him accusing me of stealing his avatar rude.
