[Zdravko]

Hi!
Considering this quote from a chat:
<totalwormache> ehm, is it worth it to get yet another domain for the community of ubuntu. why can't ubuntu-users merge with the website of ubuntu-forums
<totalwormache> ubuntu-forums is already a very settled community
<Zdravko> hmmm
<Zdravko> well
<Paladine> because ubuntuforums is an officially supported project by canonical
<Zdravko> dunno
<Zdravko> nope
<Zdravko> it is not
<Zdravko> it is unofficial
<Paladine> ubuntu-0users will be a user project
<Zdravko> it is community driven
<Zdravko> yeah
<Paladine> it is official
<Zdravko> the same thing
<Zdravko> says who?
<Paladine> it is on canonical hardware
<Zdravko> hmmm
<Zdravko> nope
<Paladine> andit has to follow canonical rules
<Zdravko> I read recently

Okay. Thanks. It is completely new to me that this forums is official. I thought it is one of the many language-specific forums, just like ubuntuusers.de.

It's not a long time ago that ubuntuforums.org became the official forum board of Ubuntu.

Yep :)

The forums became "official" in November of 2004, but I still maintained and paid for it. But as of June 2007 the forums are now a 100% canonical/ubuntu owned product.

in October 2004 it quickly became a popular resource for Ubuntu and was deemed the Official Ubuntu forums in November 2004.

Wow, that's pretty fast to make a forum and then get it reconized as official.
