I think "Why not?" would be the question :wink: :lol:

I think the mods have it right. The question is "why," not "why not." Not to get caught up in semantics (well okay, maybe just a teensy bit), but with the "why not" approach, we could start suggesting forums to be added willy-nilly! Why not a forum on car detailing? Three-headed purple thingamabobs? etc. Ozzu is a webmaster forum, and the mods are right to try to keep it focused, without too much splintering of interests. I like that there seems to be a pretty rigourous process in place to determine whether a new feature (phpBB mod, skin, forum, whatever) really has a place here before it's added. Honestly, I think that change is usually for the better, but if Ozzu deteriorated into something that tried to be all things to all people, I'd quickly head for the exit.

[Cowkiller, this is not to imply that your request would propel Ozzu in that direction, just sort of a general argument for why there should be sufficient justification before something new is added.]

i can see where there would be problems... the only answer would be open source rather than "not copyrighted"
or maybe reviewing of software = no toes trodden on :D lol
