As I stated before, I'm not planning on just having a forum and doing
nothing else. Quite obviously nothing is different yet, but the site has
been public for 3 days. Give it time.

I'm attempting to work with providers of tools related to Subversion to come
together in a common place to discuss and learn about Subversion and their
tools. Other things I'm trying to do can't be discussed openly just yet.
As I can talk about them I certainly will.

I definitely feel that a central place for Subversion help, learning, and
discussion is missing. svnforum.org fills some of that gap, along with the
svn mailing list, along with this list, and others. The key here is
central.

So I'm guessing you feel the same way about svnforum.org, correct? I don't
see how I'm trying to make money off of other people's work. It's really
not appreciated that you make that claim as a way to discredit me.

Everyone has an opinion and I appreciate hearing yours. Instead of scanning
over the front page articles, take the time to read them and follow the site
for more than 5 mins before you claim it's MFA.

I just checked the site as well and it appears to be down again. We receive
free hosting and it's safe to say we've had problems with it. The server
may not be up right now but don't act as if it never has been. My analytics
would suggest otherwise, my SVN commit history would show otherwise, and the
fact I updated the site on my vacation two weeks ago would suggest
otherwise.
I'm certainly interested in DotNetSvn but it's not the only thing I do. I
work a full time job, have a wife, a baby on the way, run a business, and
other sites. Don't take that site and claim my interest level because you
can't access it right now.

I certainly agree with this point. That's what I'm hoping to help solve
with a central local for _everything_ related to Subversion.
