As many of you know, #LFD the irc channel has been on the Freenode network for 4 years on June 13th.  I have decided since I’m on the staff as a net rep on OFTC.net that we are going to have the #LFD channel on irc.oftc.net as well.  I’d really like the one on OFTC to become the more permanent/regular/active channel, and the one on Freenode to be a secondary channel.  The reason for this I will post later as to why the change after 4 years and what Freenode has done to make me decide to make this change.  For now, I’d like anyone and everyone who reads this to join irc.oftc.net and join the #LFD channel!!

So I’m wondering what the users who use this site most would like to see this site become.  I’ve made it a WordPress install currently so that I can post things and users can comment.  You must be a registered user of the site to comment, but that is quite simple to accomplish.  If you are already a member of the forums, then your same login will work here for this part of the site.  If you wish to become a new member, the Register link will redirect you to the forums where you sign-up.  Once that is done then you are free to post comments which is what I’m looking for at the moment.  I want user comments on what you all would like to see from this site.

As many of you know we already have a wiki at http://seerofsouls.com/wiki which is where all of our how-to’s will be going to.  If you would like to see how-to’s here as well, please let me know.  If you want something different, comment about it and I’ll see what I can come up with.

I’ve just gotten done setting up WordPress and have replaced the SMF forums with the WordPress install.  So now the default http://linuxfordummies.org is now a WordPress install.  Because of this change I’ve also decided to bridge my SMF forum and WordPress databases together.  For those of you who have a login on the forums, your login will work here on WordPress as well.  If you have any problems with this, please feel free to leave me a comment or email me and I will check into the issue ASAP!

As you can see, the forums have now officially been moved to http://linuxfordummies.org/forums and this is now the new home page for LFD.  It’s a work in progress so please bear with me.  Things will hopefully progress pretty quickly and there will be lots of new stuff for everyone to enjoy here soon!!
