Old forum is temporarily turned on. If you want to save your private messages, go to your inbox, and at the bottom is a place to create a csv file for each page. It keeps the text of the messages.

Amusingly, duf.org is available for sale. (do not confuse with DebIanUserForums.org)

So he was, I forgot about that flying visit.

Got the go ahead for the refracta section at DUF.org. fsmithred, just PM me with what sections you want setting up. I'll get on it later today or tomorrow.

Dean did make an appearance at DUF about 1 to 2 years back (?)... it was a new account (as ever), can't remember the name (perhaps "notquitethatsamemeanguyyetagain") then with a characteristic flourish, vanished into the smog, ever the typical enigmatic, leaving us all guessing...

He was actually there in April this year.

Note the interesting link posted in that thread that relates to the redis discussion on dng.

Great! Thanks.

I didn't say it before, but it's nice to see you around these parts. Maybe Dean will show up. He does that every once in a while.

cynwulf, thanks. I didn't even think of that. Sorry to say I haven't been to DUF much in the past year or two. Yes, please talk to JD about it. That would be an appropriate place for the reasons you state.

PM sent - don't worry about it, not many have been to DUF in the last 6 years or so... I'll keep you posted. But JD630 isn't around much these days so could take a day or two... or a few weeks.

cynwulf, thanks. I didn't even think of that. Sorry to say I haven't been to DUF much in the past year or two. Yes, please talk to JD about it. That would be an appropriate place for the reasons you state.

And in case anyone has any doubts, Refracta is not dead. We're just without our own meeting place at the moment.

I won't move forward with this until fsmithred, lets me know what he wants to do.

As far as I'm concerned meandean created both refracta and DUF.org and if refracta needs a home the offer is there.

JohnDeere630 is the owner/admin at DUF.org - I think you know as well as I do, that he's someone to depend on (having saved the mummified remains of the site from it's demise twice over).
I can't speak for him, but as one of the admins there I can pose the question if needed.

Maybe we/you could start a thread there? That way we could all pipe in with suggestions. If that doesn't suit, yes, could you please pm JohnDeere630. Whatever you think is best. But let's wait to see what fsr has to say about the idea first.
