Seeing that this topic has been allowed to go off topic I would like to say that I remember Ubuntu Forums. I was a regular, if not an addicted, visitor.
In Ubuntu forums people were indeed told to open their own thread (topic) and not to hijack other people’s threads. Or, to resurrect dead threads. No one complained about answering the same question again and again. People were treated as individuals. Problems might be similar but not actually identical. Open your own thread.
I do not see Ubuntu Discourse - Support and Help as any different. Now, back on topic.
I learnt a lot from the Ubuntu Wiki. It had an human quality about it. I welcome this renewal of the Ubuntu Wiki concept.
