Just seen the forum, are we gonna theme it in chocolate colours? I just hate using the common PHPbb Theme. We need to make it distinguished. Also why are we using E107 anyways ? Surely theres better CMSs ? _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug

I didn't say it was useless, just not the best. I think something like nuke is just as big and stupid for the cause. I mean, if we switch over entirely to a forum, you can still have a chat system, a lugradio linkup and an articles section.

For me personally I'm not keen on converting this list to a Forum based setup I'd prefer to keep it as a mailing list but that's just me. -- Regards Dick Turpin Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users.

Just for the record. Chocolate != ubuntu brown.

Isn't Ubuntu more of a coffee brown than chocolate? Obviously we don't want our forum to themed the same as www.ubuntuforums.org. Maybe make ours more Cadbury Blue? I think we should try and seperate the Linux from Chocolate Idea from the main LUG website. The LUG site should be about us, our meetings, what we do, etc.... take alook at other LUG websites to get a jist of what needs to be on there. Then keep the Linux for Chocolate as "our LUG's project" but not specific to the LUG (as in any Linux user who isn't part of the LUG can use it).

main lug from LFC could be a good idea. That's what I initially intended.
