CrunchBang Linux Forums

It was suggested on IRC that it might be useful to set-up some forums for CrunchBang Linux. So, I've set-up some forums for CrunchBang Linux. This wasn't an easy decision to make and personally I'm still not sure that the forums are needed; however, I do agree that it might be nice to have somewhere other than this blog for people to leave feedback and suggestions.

Please feel free to visit the forums and register, get in quick before all the good usernames disappear :P There isn't much in the way of content yet, but hopefully the posts will start trickling in.

Regarding the forum software, it's bbPress. I did toy with the idea of using Cruciforum; however, while I really like the Cruciforum concept, I'm not convinced it's quite ready — and I don't have the time to help out and do any coding on the project :| Anyhow, I'm really quite impressed with bbPress. It reminds me of how Wordpress used to be, before it went all Web two point zero. It's simple and lightweight, just the way I like things. Looking back at how Wordpress developed, maybe now would be a good time grab a copy of this GPL'd forum software?!

    I just realise that the forum is indeed very nice, simple and neat. Perfect match with the CrunchBang website :)

    @heri: Thank you :) Simplicity is a quality I value highly. I'm hoping that the forums prove to be a simple yet effective means of communication — that's the plan anyway ;)
