A couple suggestions:
1. Can it be re-ordered so that it's listed under Gentoo Chat rather than under the Dustbin.
2. Is there a reason to keep it hidden from logged out users?

Once the looming threat of trolls looking to salt the earth on their way out has passed it should be safe to fix both those things.

I think the first thread I should start there should be called "A Collection of the Finest Pot Kettle Black" - you have been a recent stout contributor of such content.

I'd prefer that the new forum go at least a few months without needing moderator intervention.[1] Please don't go poking the bear right away. Doing so will just cause more problems.

[1]: Intervention to clean out drive-by spammers is a fact of life, and I have no illusions that the new forum will be exempt from those. It'd be nice if it went a while without users antagonizing each other to the point that someone uses the Report button, though.

I've found it much more effective use of my time to write a userscript to remove all posts from such antagonists. Hopefully the phpbb3 upgrade will give everyone similar tools.

If gentoo ever goes to phpbb3, you can choose to use the friend/foe setting to see others posts or not.

Perhaps that will cut down on all the childish whining that's been going on. *not that I have much faith it will stop*
