All this talk of forums has got me in the mood to try again.  I've
cleared the spam queue, and approved most of the users in it (sorry to
anyone who caught the bulk eraser).

So if we want to give the forum another try, sign up and say hello:
http://talk.geek
https://talkdotgeek.com/

Fusl or Jonah (you guys manage the website, right?), could one of you
look at adding the forum to the website?

Love,
Verax
