What arrangements would you like to see ported to Linux?


This thread is for engaging vendors know that there is a benefit in porting one of their programs to Linux. Let us know what programs you would like to see ported and why. Details such as how many you would be willing to pay may be helpful as well. If there is enough interest for certain programs I will even contact the vendor myself.

And I thought we'd be getting flower arrangements for Linux. My wife will be disappointed

Do profile pages get indexed? I just tried to access it in incognito and get a login prompt, and curling as Googlebot appears to give the same thing.

Not sure, but if they don't, there's little point to shove a link there when it'll be deleted/invisible.

Well yeah, but nobody said spammers were smart.

Whether profile pages and/or member lists are public is almost certainly a setting (it is for other forum software); the spammers evidently don't bother to check the instance they're posting to.
