This is not only about the Maemo and Moblin communities. There is plenty of people now interested in MeeGo that were not in any of these two communities before.
But anyway.
Reggie, are you aware of how things look like with single sign-on vBulletin-Drupal?
GeneralAntilles (or whoever disliking Drupa forums) can you get into details about what is bad? "Not a fan" doesn't really help making evaluations.

3. Rename talk.maemo.org --> talk.meego.com. There might be some legal problems moving accounts with private data under another domain (no idea). Another problem, perhaps bigger, is to move all this crew there, leaving nothing for those not interested in 'MeeGo' (from strict N900 users not that interested in platform etc to people with a strong opinion about MeeGo for some reason, OS2008 users, etc).
Using a Drupal module doesn't sound like a good idea, just like using a Midgard module wouldn't have made much sense for maemo.org. Generally a specialized forum application is better in every way than something developed as a minor part of a CMS. I'm pretty sure we already learned that with Maemo's Wiki
The new forum would need properly labeled areas for Maemo and Moblin things to discuss the older platform releases, as well as new ones for MeeGo (and the different UX versions).
Besides, we already have some experiences with rebranding this forum, from the ITT -> TMO change...

1. Empty Drupal in the lines of http://drupal.org/forum (meego.com sits on a Drupal CMS so this is the easiest solution).

Besides, other than being open source, why would we prefer Drupal?

This can be accomplished either by moving existing Midgard-based services over to meego.com infrastructure and integrating them with the MeeGo visuals and Drupal accounts, or by porting the functionality over to Drupal. Either way works, though the Midgard stuff is something we have now and know that works in the Maemo scale

Is there a possibility to "link" to the same vBulletin from many sites? What I'm imagining is that talk.meego.com and talk.maemo.org share some portions, for example Community, Platform and Development. talk.meego.org forum would only show these and possibly some more MeeGo related sections, while talk.maemo.org would have what it has now.
You could participate in the discussion in the (example) three shared sections from both sites and keep the device/Nokia specific discussions here. That would provide continuity here and get things started at talk.meego.org. In my opinion it might not be a great idea to just dump everything to a one big mess in talk.meego.com. I also don't think it's a good idea to keep two separate community sections.
This just off the top of my head, have no idea if it's feasible at all?

Most Nokia people don't use Talk now, either, but it's not the end of the world.
