The new MK&C Forum is now open at forum.karppinen.fi. It’s based on Beast, and as such is the first Ruby on Rails application we have deployed here at MK&C. We’ll see how it goes.
The old forum, living in our FogBugz installation, never really got off the ground, and I think part of the reason was the lack of common forum features such as sticky topics. I’ll be making good use of those in the new forum, putting together Frequently Asked Questions lists and other help resources.
As a side note, we’re in the middle of a pretty convoluted server migration process, so the new forum is temporarily running on a Mac mini, next to the television at my home. Performance seems to be just fine so far — watching EyeTV doesn’t seem to affect the forum experience :)
