I imagine this must have been discussed by you guys off this board somewhere however, for us folk in the cheap seats, could you please explain what relationship these other forums you speak of have with maemo.org?

I don't see any "nitroid forums" >> HERE <<
and a scan of our Community forum does not show why these threads you speak of were moved.

I hope I'm not beeing seen as being difficult here. It's just that I am in these forums most every day and become involved in many topics in order to provide whatever help or support I can give to my fellow members.

In my replies I do not want to look like more of an *** than I sometimes already do but in my effort to minimize this, I don't want to appear too stupid.

Could you offer some insight into what motivated your sidenote and perhaps point to where these decisions were made and the discussions that led up to them if they in fact were.

You are right, these threads are no longer here and I have no idea why or how they were moved other than another "sidenote" from a mod in another thread. Perhaps others are just as clueless as well.

Asking us to respond to what I assume is a rhetorical question is kind of like a shepherd cutting the throat of a sheep in front of the whole flock. The other sheep may not know why he did what he did but it does get their attention and it then makes herding the remaining sheep a lot easier for some reason.
