Very well done!

Aren't there too little posts to be a premier spot for linux users though? Or haven't you imported the database yet?

Hi Jay - Thanks for joining up!

At one point - in or around 2008.. This forum was one of the few useful Linux forums out there. Shortly after that time however, it shut down. The previous owner is trying to track down a database dump from then but isn't having any luck as of yet.

We hope he's able to find it but at the same time see it as an opportunity to start fresh.

Hope to see you around the forum,

Rob

I like the new look and feel. I was an admin for linuxforum back in the good old days. I don't really remember why it went offline, but after a brief comeback it turned into a spamfest. Hopefully this go around will be much better.

Thanks Tom! Each morning I go through the new registrations and see if any spammers got in.. we have it pretty locked down, but not so much that it's a pain to register. Hope to see you around - spread the word!

Hey tommy-boy! Good to see you! Still helping out over at PF? I hit it up from time to time, but kind of took a step back from all that after 7 years (wow, that was a long time ago).

Yes, I am still and admin there but I don't do much anymore. I normally just step in if there is a server or security issue.
