So if the decision is the status-quo :
- let's make easy to join it > I've suscribed to the forum today and it
was painfull as the registration code is extremely difficult to read (I
took me 10 attempt and the anti bot question hard to reply when you
don't have an english mindset (I replied "3" instead of "third"...it
tooks me while to figure it out)
- let's make it clear that for the dev part, the dev-ML is better suited
so we don't let potential contributors without reply for months
On the fr version of the website, I'll add two external links pointing
to active french-speaking boards.

I am back from 11 days off the grid. I have always viewed the forum
as a viable support mechanism. My comment about addressing the issue
was not agreement or disagreement with any proposed solutions, but
related solely to the need to decommission the current server.
I think shutting down the forum will be a potential shock to many
users and will no doubt have negative impacts. Forums are a pain
because of bots and spam, however we have a large number of users
that rely on the QGIS forum for support and information. Maybe
gis.stackexchange.org can replace the forum---or maybe not. Either
way there are two things that are certain:
1 - the current server will be offline prior to August 10, 2011 2 -
there will by many unhappy users if the forum goes away
The community and psc need to decide if we are willing to accept
