@omgubuntu
There are all kinds of people nowadays.
TBH, IDK why many of them have to create their story about how things actually happen, and then follow it and consider they are the only who have the truth and all the others are deaf silly ones. When actually, they are the #narrowMinded ones…

BTW, I hope you won't give up cause of messages like this.
Yes, it's true that #OMGUbuntu doesn't seem to have as many members as other #Linux-related blogs, and yeah, #OMGUbuntu **is** more focused on certain topics, but it doesn't mean it isn't interesting and worth it. I always like your articles, as they're often funny, and often with interesting #POVs, so you sometimes make me understand the things in other ways.
So yeah, keep up the fantastic work!

BTW, are you planning to provide #paid-only articles and others? In order to support the #blog?

@TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

― a better community, for everyone.

Food for thought, <https://forums.truenas.com/>:

― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.
