I am a little confused as to why we are looking at "Askbot".

The original reason for looking at starting our own forums was that 
people wanted a "native" LibreOffice Forums. We are not going to keep 
using Nabble because people say that it does not feel like the "forums" 
system they are used to. So, why are we looking at systems that do not 
feel anything like forums?

If we are to keep our present userbase happy, we should get a forums up 
and running just like they are used to using. Why would we put up 
anything else would just leave people thinking that we are not 
responding to their request for a "forums like we are used to" and 
rather put up something that they are unfamiliar with. This will only 
dissuade them from joining our new help system and leave them 
complaining, again, that we do not offer them a "forums like we are used 
to". I feel we need to respond to our userbase needs if we are looking 
to serve them as well as grow our LibreOffice community.

Cheers,

Marc
