hi,

two obvious problems for a *techno-centric* forum: 
* it's not housed in MU;  not that this matters overly much, but it:
** _does_ send a bad message across to your future listeners about the quality of MU networks and hosting in MU
** makes access to this slower for MU users, which in turn would make them less likely to want to contribute
* as a sometimes techie, i'd say:   "what, no IPv6?"     ;-)

as a more networking related geek, i'd bemoan that there isn't a "networking" section, but i guess that this is aimed at home users, so the routing protocol market is small here ;-)
