[Compcomm] A possible forum merge proposal

[jug]

Please! Stop these discussions! There were more than enough arguments for
both already.
We have a Web-Team. Let them decide once and for all, make an official
announcement what they decided and drop the subject.
Having phpBB3 up and running is kind of an announcement and then again it's
not, because the decision (WHY this decision) is not clearly documented. At
least I have not seen any.

That's all I'm asking for - we need teams that are allowed to make decisions
for the community, because if everybody has his own ideas how things should
work then you'll never get done with anything. See how vB was bought and set
up by some soloing before a decision was made. That can not be acceptable.
Ultimately I think we need a democracy.

I know this will not always be perfect. People disagree with decisions and
maybe wrong decisions will be made, but there will be progress. And that is
better than endless discussions without any progress and therefor with
people getting bored, frustrated and then leave the project.
