New FORUM website

I really like this forum website, but... Is old and I found that should be better if we move to another one, newer and better, improved technology.

These are the main reasons:

- users should not require to create (register) accounts, this is (in these days) a boring step to push users to not use it
- it needs to be more userfriendly, less steps, more active, less captchas and more automated
- you can see a ton of features (reasons) on the candidate section, which is also based on ruby so that could be easy to create powerful plugins/needs on it

Now the BAD things about moving to another forum system:

- this forum is some kinda nice and with some personality, don't you think?
- we will lose all our threads, of course (by other side we could keep a copy of this forum online and active, but will be not the primary one)

And the Candidate is... [www.discourse.org]

Try it! and give some feedback here

Yeah, I agree, but we cannot import the old threads here , we can only have 2 forums websites, one for the old forum which is this one and another for the new one, I can of course include references of "if you want to go to the old forum..." in different specific locations, even in the new forum
