Congrats!

[pickupsticks]

This is a great addition to the freebsd community, with the abandonment of the last major message board to spam this is a much needed resource. Wonderful to see! :)

[brd@]

Thank you, that is one of the reasons we decided it was time for an official one :)

[ed@]

Nice to see so many positive reactions to the forums! I think I'll more likely follow the mailing lists, but if people run into problems where I can be of any help, I'll try to respond.

[skye]

+1 ... great to have official forums!

Mail lists are so 20th century ;)

However the Nabble list interface at http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-f6549.html is quite good until this picks up steam.

[loon]

Nice work, congrats!

[artificer]

nice work, thumbs up!

[good-beastie]

I like it, and the registering was easy.
Looking forward to posting.
Thanks!

[andygui]

I like the fact that the topics are available via RSS. It will certainly make topic tracking a lot easier! :)

[businessgeeks]

way to go FreeBSD!

[LiSergey]

The official forum was necessary long time.
Thanks!!!

[SAS]

Excellent, Thanks all.

[kingping]

Good news, it's nice to know FreeBSD and the community grow.

[J65nko]

This is a great addition to the freebsd community, with the abandonment of the last major message board to spam this is a much needed resource. Wonderful to see! :)Most of the regulars of that last major message board, bsdforums.org, started http://daemonforums.org. It is even listed on http://www.freebsd.org/news/news.html ;)

[hitest]

Yes. That is an excellent forum as well. It is good to see a lot of familiar faces here! :)

[danger@]

You can actually access FreeBSD forums through https://forums.freebsd.org/.
Unfortunately, we currently have only a self-signed certificate.

[jonathan]

definitely happy to see an official forum for us to post in!

dare i admit, that i enjoyed the romanticism of using the 'old way' to communicating using the mailing lists. i wonder how long it will be until the forum becomes a more common way to 'mass-discuss' freebsd topics?

[dave]

Thirded.

[tecer]

it is really good idea !

[jrick]

Nice! Love the new forum.

[snes-addict]

I've always been more fond of forums than mailing lists.

I vote this the best move the project has made this year... okay, maybe a close second to 7.0-RELEASE, but it's nevertheless awesome.

[mfaridi]

Thanks and congratulations

[hydra]

Thank you, I was missing this :) I also recognize some of the lads from "unnoficial" BSD forums, how cool.

[kmb]

You'll Never Walk Alone :D

[tbyte]

This should have been done 10 years ago. A lot easier to use then subscribing to 1000 mail list, easier to search, easier to browse ... I've always missed an official freebsd forum ;).
Congratulation and thanks for the great job ! :)

[KuArZo]

Thank You Very Much!!!

It's really good.

[sash]

thanks a lot!
happy to join

[Itodaen]

Very good idea, the forum, and excellent work, gratz!

[CdK1]

very nice thx

[ephemera]

Nice forum.

I especially liked the registration procedure - quick and simple.

One thing I found missing on BsdForum.org was that there were no fbsd developers (AFAIK) there.
So, some of the discussions/problems/feature requests/feedback probably never made it to the mailing lists.
Since a ML is not everyone's thing and a forum is more informal/accessible.

Good work guys. :beer

[KgS]

great thing! thumbs up.

[Eros]

nice to be here... a much need place for all of us :D

[fredg]

Very useful, thanks a lot for this service.

Best regards.

[rubenerd]

Just adding my kudos to the FreeBSD folks for creating this forum, what a fantastic idea! Thanks you!

[horus]

We should have a forum already! :)
Thank all the hard-working guys.

It feels so good to be a member.

[craigo]

thanks for the new resource!

[turquoise]

Happy to have this new possibility, thank you!

[pamdirac]

nice forum :)

[Jeff]

we decided it was time for an official one :)

[sim]

Great to have an official forum! +1

I'm personally more comfortable with forums over mailing lists - just easier to browse and I have enough trouble keeping on top of mail as it is. I'm sure the lists will continue to serve a vital need though.

More importantly, I suspect that the presence of a thriving (and friendly!) forum could do a lot to attract potential users who are checking out FreeBSD. It should help create a sense that there is a real live community out there, which in turn makes FreeBSD feel more approachable for the inquisitive/nervous. (This is of course predicated on the assumption that we welcome new users... ;))

[Fuzzball]

Thank You guys! I really do look forward to this new forum. I hope it wont be too much to mod and will be a permanent resource for all that is FreeBSD.

Cheers.

[ibb27]

good to see official forums from FreeBSD :e

[Alt]

Thanks, freebsd team=) Im sure this forum will help many people.

[oversize]

Yes, very nice!

I felt that there are a few bsd related forums, but for some reasons they never wanted to join forces. Hope this gets huge, for the collective good.

[razimi]

Yay ... !
Now we get new home ... :)

[Ico]

love the forums so far ;)

[unixdude]

Congrats to all and awesome that this forum is now up and running!
I like the layout. Nice touch!

:)

[makaze]

Thanks, this is definitely good as others have stated most of the other boards have gone away.

[nilton]

Greeting everybody, here nilton :P

[Sprax]

I'm shocked, I didn't think this would ever happen.

What can I say, I've been waiting for this!

Thank you!
