Any explanation for why the forum is so unmaintained? I mean I am sure it

Probably a lack of active volunteers.  I didn't remember it being this
bad.  It can work if we get a large enough volunteer pool who are
willing ot do spam filtering and also a better infrastructure.

It isn't worth putting the effort unless we can at least get a minimal
of 5-6 volunteers to manage the forums.

I was suggested to give [1] a try and honestly speaking it really looks
like a good alternative to the current forums at worldofgnome.org with a big
plus: the platform will be maintained by the GNOME Sysadmin Team and
possibly by a team of moderators.

As a note seems the worldofgnome.org's domain wasn't renewed in time and
the website went down, I'll try and poke Alex about that asap.

Hi;

we seem to promote forums.worldofgnome.org as our (semi?)official
forums: we link to it from the homepage of https://wiki.gnome.org/ under
'Communication', and also, more importantly, allow it to use the GNOME
logo.

However, those forums are overrun with spam:

- *All* of the 'popular tags' (as seen on the right hand sidebar on the
  forums) are spam words.

- Looking at the list of all 'discussions' at
  http://forums.worldofgnome.org/discussions shows that the content
  itself is all spam, as well.

So those forums are of no use to our users. Therefore, I think
we should remove the link from wiki.g.o to the forums, and we should
rethink their authorisation to use the GNOME logo.

Regards,
        Christian
