Even no forum at all won't make me change it. But i want high quality forum, because i like new users who want to learn "true good unix" to not be stucked up by some simple problem with that OS, that by accident isn't described well in handbook or manual. That's for what forum should be, and why it should be moderated, and posting rules clearly defined for all users. It will be then FreeBSD forum after all, not everything-about-something-more-or-less-remotely-connected-with-unix. > If you stop using it because you don't like the > noise, then functionality is not your high priority. Maybe saying > 'at all' is over the top. maybe not at all, but at least it means that such user don't see a functionality difference between FreeBSD and some other system, so he can choose because of forum "quality", personal taste, what name sounds better and what logo looks nicer.
