A lot of things changed when the old forums merged. Many of us
sacrificed the old way of doing things for a new way we were less
comfortable with. Some of us put the openSUSE community first, and
began something new. Some folks, like yourself, decided to move in a
different direction instead of contributing to OSF. That's your choice,
and those of us who decided to contribute by creating the official
openSUSE forums wish you the best, but not at the expense of the truth.
An attempt to put down the efforts of others that ignores the facts
doesn't further whatever agenda you're promoting.

The facts of the database merge are pretty interesting. It seems you
don't know much about what actually happened, have forgotten the
details, or are pretending to have forgotten. Good luck with that.
