forums.debian.net gone

Aptitude is not superior to KDE! They should dump Gnome and go with apt-get though.

As somebody on these forums once said: the best place for Gnomes is in the garden.

bahaha, but I don't like KDE either... hmmm
and yes, apt-get is better

I prefer urpmi. Oh wait, wrong part of this board.

The garden of debian is where gnomes shall reside....
with aptitude by its side....
the best of the best is what Debian should be....
down with apt-get and kde...

Wow! We have a poet in our midst. I always thought Debian inspired policies, not poetry. I'm impressed.

nothing is what it seems to be these days.

You just wait an see. After KDE 4.xx has all the bugs worked out of it, and looks and works just like Windows Vista / 7. Then you will see.

Well, you have a contradiction there, if it has all the bugs worked out, it isn't anything like windows7, and if it works like windows7, it doesn't, and never will have all the bugs worked out.

@gnudude:
well; might happen, one is getting older

It will be restored 'when it is ready'.

Possible scenario:

Provisional date for restoration 28 April

Expect rumours of unreadiness and impending delay to start 26 April

Belated revised target date announcement expected 3 May

Period of silence which may or may not imply intense labour lasts until 5 June

2nd revised target date announcement made on 5 June. Nobody reads through to the end of the announcement and subsequently the date is hotly disputed.

Thread appears on ubuntuforums claiming Debian died dude. Period.

ubuntuforums member points out this is not the case and is infracted for being argumentative. Mods then notice his sig linking to a humanist website....not believing in jesus is considered an aggravating factor and sure sign of a hard to define attitude problem and the infraction is raised to a permanent ban.

Meanwhile the forum unexpectedly comes back up on 6 June but no-one notices except spambots.
