Re: [Hydrogen-devel] Forum issues?

[<ma...@sm...>]

Hi!

At the moment we (the Hydrogen project) do not "own" any hardware. The 
website and forum is currently hosted by a friend of Wolke (a former 
Hydrogen developer). We agreed some time ago that we will move away our 
stuff from this server if possible. At the moment the website is in the 
progress to be transferred to GitHub pages, i'm currently waiting for 
Alessandro to make the necessary DNS adjustments. I would also like to 
move the forum to a different location or create a new forum somewhere 
else (based on a different forum system, be it phpbb or discourse or 
whatever..). So this is the plan in the long run.

At the moment Olivier has helped to re-enable spam filtering, so we will 
see if things improve or not. But independent from the current spam 
problem, it seems that it would be better for us to look for a way to 
host our forum in the future.

Best regards,
Sebastian
