Anyone willing/able to create a new Maemo site?
 
Any other legacy device user out there that either already have a site up and running (and could add a vBulletin to it for instance) - or have the time and know-how to set up a new site for N770/N800/N810 users where we could discuss those devices?

Personally I don't have the skills to set something up but I'd be willing to contribute in ways like helping out with hosting fees, etc.

Anyone interested in (or have already thought about) such an undertaking?

I doubt that this would 'rob' the tmo of any users as many are probably also N900 owners and/or would keep going here for other reasons - but I would personally love to have a new home.

Or maybe in light of today's MeeGo announcement it should be a 'Maemo Legacy OS'-site :)

LOL! Sounds like you are not too happy with the New Trailer Park that moved in next door!

it's not that...it's just that the real estate value is dropping :)

Why create a new site; several Maemo sites sprang up when the N900 was released, why not take some of that energy there and bolster what you perceive that is missing here with filling it in on those sites?

I'm not sure I understand 100% what you wrote.
Do you mean I should go to N900 fan-sites and promote the N770/N800/N810 devices and 'turn them into' legacy device fan-sites?
I would think those sites were created more for the N900 than anything else :)

All I'm really "looking for" is a separate site where legacy-device users can discuss their devices without drowning in N900-N950-MeeGo-Etc chatter.

If someone is willing to pickup cost of hosting it and their is an interest I will host/admin the forums.

a) Can you estimate the monthly/annual hosting costs?

b) Could a forum be structured in such a way that N770, N800, N810 AND N900 users could co-exist and threads/sub-forums managed better than at tmo?

Heh, there is no doubt that management could be done better than here by a long shot. This is the most poorly setup forum I've ever seen.

In that case I nominate you as a forum moderator on our still-to-be-created-paid-for-and-named-site-that-may-have-a-total-of-five-users

I think that a site focusing on internet tablets regardless of what company makes them is what should be formed. Legacy Nokia tablets would of course have a key role, but so would the Q7/Q5s, etc. There are products that haven't even been released yet that might be of interest.
