Thanks for taking this issue up Chris,
I would choose option A. but I think we can do better than Builtin Board software. There's been large improvements to forum software and I'm converned moving from a previous bb will encourage us to stick with old fashioned software.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Brynn has been trying to get in touch with InkscapeForum hosts for three months regarding the possibility of bringing it under the project's control, since it has served our community for so long as the go-to for Inkscape help and community questions.
Three months down the line, no response.
Since it's not moving forward, and indeed the hosts may not even be active in the community anymore, our thoughts are to set up an official Inkscape forum to host our community ourselves.
Of course, this is no small decision, so I thought I'd bring it to the board for a vote.
The options as I see it are:
A. Make our own forum, which we can link off the official website, and begin answering questions there to migrate users to the official site.
B. Wait longer and hope the hosts of Inkscapeforum contact us back at some point.
C. Something else
Open to alternatives, but since Brynn and other forum gurus are leaning towards setting up our own forums, I figured we owe it to them to get a good answer and solid direction as soon as possible.
Thanks for your attention!
