French-Speaking Puppyists Now Have a New Forum
Posted: Sun 22 Apr 2018, 10:00
Hello all.
As the title says.
Please spread the news among your French-speaking colleagues!
A new Puppy forum for French-speakers has just opened at
https://augras.eu/puppy_forum .
I wish to thank forum member Philippe Augras (aka "augras") for his
generosity and commitment.
The new forum is using the ElkArte forum software, and is set-up so
each Original Poster can moderate his/her thread, in addition to the
general moderator. Because of this capacity, there should be no more
sterile and / or dead-end discussions amongst French-speaking Puppyists.
I was fortunate enough to be part of the tests, and I can tell you the
ElkArte interface is beautiful, and very well thought-out. Its editor is
excellent. The list of handy differences -- concerning graphics, etc. -- is
long compared to what this old phpBB forum is offering.
To be clear, I should add that our breaking off from the Murga-Puppy
forum is nothing personal against Flash or John Murga. It is rather a
criticism of the policy -- regarding the fact that these Puppy forum
sections are not moderated anymore, and has not been for many years,
as I understand it. For whatever reason, this Murga-Puppy forum has
not been able to replace the moderators it says it has.
Except Flash, of course, who is doing a fine job, and probably he has
his tongue to the floor at times trying to do everything. Hats off to you,
three times rather than one, my friend!
As the great American novelist Henry Miller once wrote: "If there is a
genuine need, it will be met."
Well, for us French-speaking Puppyists, our genuine need for a truly-
moderated forum has finally been fulfilled, thanks to augras. Our
prayers have been answered.
The French-speaking section of the Murga-Puppy forum has lost many
valuable members throughout the years for lack of proper moderation.
We hope this new Puppy forum will give them reason to re-ignite their
interest in Puppy Linux.
Thanks for all the learning and sometimes the giggly fun, Murga-Linux
forum. But bye-bye... (I personally will still be around now and then.)
But « rendez-vous » at https://augras.eu/puppy_forum/ if you
speak French!
