-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Board,
I would like to ask for the board's help about the following issue: The main Inkscape forum, at http://www.inkscapeforum.com, is maintained by a single admin (microugly, see whois entry of the site for more details), who is the only one with access to server, database and user permissions. The admin seems to be 'alive', indicated by private messages to microugly being read, and the 'Last active' display in the user's profil e (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2). Unfortunately, for a long time, nobody has been able to successfully make contact with microugly (the last time I got a response was in October last year). Martin Owens and I tried to contact microugly via email and launchpad account, and other forum members report sending private forum messages repeatedly. There is currently only a single moderator taking care of spam (Lazur), and the spamming is getting more. The moderator has already declared that he will (understandably) not go on doing this forever, if the admin does not answer his requests for more spam protection and allowing more people to help soon. There are other users who would volunteer to help, but aside from the forum owner, there's nobody who could give them the required permissions (or do updates to the site etc.). As the forum is labelled "The official Inkscape 'users' forum", and is a very valuable resource for users, I think this is important for the Inkscape project. It would be a pity for the domain name and the collected info being drowned in spam when the only active moderator gives up. Can you help with this issue? Additional info: - ---------------- An alternative forum is maintained by Brynn, at http://inkscapecommunity.com/. It's currently a lot less active than inkscapeforum.com and thus, has a smaller information base. It's also quite a bit slower. Its maintainer, however, is very responsive, and it has a collection of well-curated information. The Inkscape project itself does not have a forum, but there have been discussions about this on the devel mailing list (but no volunteers to add one to the website). The current forum community discussion can be found here: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=20489 Kind regards, Maren -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXJ2uSAAoJELavtZto4hQPhZAQAL9+KoLQVBXklZb1crgUryuH d310ACHwJfyzAlnpycN0DYGvSErKZBANZI4b1QlniqFE/rtnNaS/KcsOPnaUXdiZ Bcqfjn5I5duhR5aPKPWeUilCfIVydwN581JmmhWShrK1DoAfY62IcIwTu90Ujet9 Vh80fn5YOZAhbXEYgjaLKHPEIr99oD0v6WMg4+9Wn8j9Cibjo/K/ohfg+1KN7JhY JZIR6BGbq/hdNUsIASAnbG9JQYAXrh4AkuZni8lR3cQkIfwCiQTfra231vNZiuhu HRxMYHSk9gV5o77arrYijVdaKBAMgLIZCa8hzOLeXTsY8m7w+z5YoKM3N4t2vydm sNLK7txo20f+5sZur6zdEMA1fIKW7zJRPzZHfpYPYNZfMLJKnlv5m98ALW30X9Eq tY2tqvD/pynBxPpyboPcS3H3Dc+KUru6LV3N8MlNKm66XNYkM3z7Lv3Li1g0wzyQ F5DjUWsTbFklMjrDJhGCHfTqumTY7d+9wvRLKekz48jdPNE8dWbr8yxeFBKzUu1K DDhgawN2d/E6iuBfj6RiTAtdMeHoSQKNcl3M/IwSUJohW7l59GAYpSjJKXWKlvNJ gkrtjCWvXfK4y4mbWs2/fsC0qgKqdNttsG1RDR0OlpAp9OGL3LjoLkq4YJ4rOO27 J16Bm+kDIObWkEuzS50p =XpXZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
