Two New Distribution Fora at LQ: CentOS and elementary
Due to a Policy Change, official participation is no longer required for some distributions to have a distro forum here at LQ. This has resulted in the creation of two new distribution fora:

As the Policy Change thread notes, a distro forum for non-participating distros will only be automatically created for those in the DW Top 10. All other distros are welcome to participate and have a forum here at LQ, however. If you know someone associated with either disto and think they'd be interested in having a forum at LQ, please have them contact me.

So I thought, if Dragora, why not something better known and that has been around longer?
That's because as he mentioned above, unless a Distro maintainer or any main crew member requests to open and willing to maintain the distro's fora here, it doesn't serve any purpose. I think that has been the norm here.
Multiple people associated with the Dragora distribution are participating here at LQ.--jeremy
Multiple is like a few, right? Like at least 3? ;-p
OK guys, I did not know that it had to be maintained by someone on the crew - I misunderstood that new policy change thing.
Pity, because both their respective forums seem to be on thinly-spread ressources, and I feel they may benefit from having a more centralized forum like here, where ressources are shared in common, and more people visit.

Do keep in mind that more than a single participant is not a requirement and the participation requirements are quite minimal. If you think there is a distro that would benefit from participation here, feel free to put us in touch and we'd be happy to explain the benefits to them.
Would it be possible to also have sections for: Pinguy
Peppermint
thanks
I don't know them personally though - they have contact details on their respective websites.
I feel that there is another one that definitely deserves attention: SolydXK as it is the continuation of the former Mint LMDE project. definitely some clout and credibility there even though it is a brand new distro name.
