No, they don't have a Gentoo subforum because they ask for some |
| 38 |
kind of semi-official support from the distro so it doesn't die |
| 39 |
starved without responses within two weeks of being opened. |

|
| 41 |
That's what this is about :) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
This is not about having two forums or segregating |
| 44 |
the support. This is *a reality*. People already post there. |
| 45 |
We can choose to give some support or to ignore it. But that's |
| 46 |
not going to change the fact that they *do post there*, it |
| 47 |
doesn't matter if we like that or not. The universe is as it |
| 48 |
is regardless of what we think that would be ideal. |

I've been answering gentoo stuff in there for months now, |
| 51 |
this project is only a backing so LQ can feel that we care about |
| 52 |
that and give us a subforum. Which in turn will ease my job |
| 53 |
supporting people there. Even if it's just to tell them |
| 54 |
"I can't help, please, register at forums.gentoo.org and |
| 55 |
ask there". |

The project should be viewable. The forum post will only be |
| 61 |
visible for mods, admins and devs I guess, and only when loged in· |
| 62 |
There's nothing I can do about that. |
