A message from our editor:
Due to the low user activity on the LXF forums, combined with a high volume of spam account openings, the LXF team are making the decision to shutter the forums at a future date. As of now, new registrations are closed.
We're making this early announcement to enable remaining active members to seek out and migrate to other more active boards.
Currently maintaining the boards is a distraction from our primary jobs of running the print magazine. Couple this with a plan to migrate the linuxformat.com server down the line, which doesn't include the forum and we're giving forum users as much warning as possible.
As is usually the case this move is unconnected to the stability of the print magazine (ie it's not closing, as is often the rumour after such moves) it's simply so we can concentrate on producing a better print magazine.
It's not an easy decision to reach, but we think the forum's time has come. Feel free to fire abuse, thoughts and comments to: linuxformat@futurenet.com
Regards,
The LXF Team.
