Hello fellow nixers,
This thread is about the recent events.

Unexpectedly, yrmt left me in charge of administering the forums so I'm taking
the opportunity to re-open the discussion we had on my "never-used" forums.

In that respect, please do not take my current position as something that is
impartial, I'm welcoming any useful ideas.

For what happened to yrmt, he's simply hosting the forums and won't get involved
in nixers.net activities anymore.

In this thread we'll discuss the following:

• The relation that /r/unixporn has with nixers.net
  
• What is going to happen to the irc (merging or not merging)
  
• How nixers.net is going to be administered from now on

My personal opinion (which you don't have to agree with):

I think the "Desktop Customization" section of the forums could be re-branded as
"Unixporn" related forum. It would need some changes that we might have to think
about but overall it's a fair idea. Though I'm not so sure if people from the sub will
come posting on the forums.

As far as I'm concerned, the IRC activities should stay hosted by iotek. Up
until now they've done a pretty good job administering it. If anyone wants to
merge with the channel related to the community we can always find a smooth way
to do it taking in consideration that the topic of the channels are related.

I'd like to have a democratic administration from now on. I want more discussion
threads and ideas flowing.
I'm specifying from upfront that I won't and I swear to not take any parties or
subjective decisions.
This position is heavy and in consequence I'll refer to everyone before making
changes.
