forums, need a good software project to adopt them (for free!)

Cew27 · 2009-01-04 18:48:05

hey guys i recently tried to establish a forum (www.fossforums.org & .com) and this, well failed miserably.
now i already have the hosting but the forums are getting no use. they use punbb like arch with a similar theme.
now im looking for a software project to adopt them. this basically means i will take care of the forum (updating and moderating it along with others) leaving tghe dev more time and less hassles and less money spent on webhosting!
i will continue to pay for the forum/ site.
if you are interested or know someone who might be please contact me either here or at (ciaran 27 at google mail dot com) without the spaces
thanks alot

CEW27 Perhaps the defunct FaunOS "Live USB" forum can be "reborn" under a new name.

It was attacked by porn users possibly because of the Faunos name.

I have suggested using the name OSSHADOW since the present release is called "shadow".

There is no maintainer for the Faunos forum at this time.

It is based on 2.6.24 at present. There are 250 registered users.

There is continued interest, altho waning, in the shadow release.
It includes a pacman feature that is very useful.

Raymano Garibaldi developed the project and he emphasized the full-sized arch-based system which has value in demonstrating the fullness of linux to newbies and windows users.

I endorse it as the simplest means of installing a full- sized distro with a minimum of user inputs.

Perhaps this forum is suitable for your site. Others in arch forums have indicated interest in supporting new life to the system.

What about a forum solely dedicated to Xmonad? There are plenty of users, Ask the devs - they might be interested.

Click on raymano's profile to get his e-mail access and query him about Faunos via e-mail.

And look on the xmonad and openbox for the author's email address.
