Make this forum the official forum for jQuery?

in About the jQuery Forum • 13 years ago

How does everyone feel about this?

If it was to happen, here is what would change:

The forum would become forum.jquery.com
The look and feel would change to match that of jquery.com
Participation would most likely increase dramatically

I'd like to hear what everyone has to say, or any questions you might have.[/list]

I am definitely for this. One of the biggest challenges this forum faces is not having enough people to answer questions; there's certainly a good number asking (which is good).

Not everyone likes mailing lists, and not everyone likes forums. I think it's crucial to provide multiple options for people seeking help when it's feasible to do so.

the domain is a nice touch, but i think the largest challenge would be the current userbase. perhaps having jquery actually link to us instead of their shotty 'discussion' would help out. have you proposed it to them? :p

I'm all for it! The number of users (especially of helpers) here is quite small and the helpfulness of this forum suffers from it. Making this something official is a great idea.

When changing the look&feel, be sure to finally get rid of that uppercase 'J' in 'JQueryHelp'.

That should change with the new design. chrysb lost the Photoshop file for that logo a long time ago.

No, he didn't lose it, I hacked into his computer and burned it (digitally)

Well, that's a resounding 'Yes' then!

Moderators will have the option of remaining moderators, it's part of the agreement.

Speaking of, let's all give Mike Branski a round of applause. I credit him for the growth of this forum to where it is now, and also a thanks to mconway who came on later to help Mike with the load of questions. It wouldn't have been possible without them.

I will keep everyone posted as to when the migration will happen.
