    Yes, I have launched the Beta of wpDesign.org and more info is available here: http://wpdesign.org/blog/

    In light of recent events at OWD I have also launched a new sistersite named osFriends.org aimed at creating a non-profit, fun, open-source community. More details are available on the site and I'm looking for moderators, etc. Lobstermans idea of a Board is an excellent one and I'm running with it on that project. So, I plan on registering a non-profit within 30 days and then transfering the domains, etc over to the non-profit group. Anyone who wants to be part of the non-profit open-source group should join the website and start posting. Creating the non-profit will ensure continued viability and will stop this from happening yet again :)

    Check it out: http://forum.osfriends.org/ (right now the main page is re-directing to the community forum)

    Great, will check it out, Stan. I did register on wpDesign.org.

    Hi Sloan :-). Exactly what did happen on OWD last night? And what link? I was away and had no idea that any trouble was brewing.

    Yes, great idea adding a second forum before we even decided on the first. I don't mind moving there, but we will split up in to a million if we all go and start forums.

    Again, it's not that i care for this forum at all, it is obviously temporary, but we should decide on things, get a board together, etc.

    As for the domain name, I really like it. I'd vote for it ;)

    And a side comment - punBB??? why???

    i agree lobsterman and i don't want to split everone up. i just figured i would launch it and see if anyone likes the idea. i know this forum is considered 'temporary' so i figured why not lauch it and see what happens :)

    Our company will sponsor the hosting and I would donate both sites to the new initiative:

    wpdesign.org - for template submissions, comments, etc
    osfriends.org - for our community forum

    ideas? suggestions?

    why punBB you ask? simply because you used Vanilla ;)

    janpd24 - bradm81 posted a link that showed all older templates had been modified to include a link to a website. all the zips were hacked as well and this was all done without the knowledge of the designers and community.

    here ya go:

    well,
    Just because this is temporary we can decide on things within a day or two without anyone pushing it one way or another by registering domains and or hosting or making all the final decisions on his own.
    I say we vote on everything.
    Also, I think we deserve a full OWD replacement, the designs are what bring the traffic and visitors. not trying to say something against your project, but it is still 'your' personal project.

    How about a poll on which forum? I'd vote for Vanilla!
