[Fife Linux Users Group] Recently posted my Fifelug website.

[Chase]

I think I owe Fifelug an apology. in the last four years have been 
running the group if never turned out the way as planned interest and 
membership coming and go from time to time. While the last couple of 
months of 2005 were not our most organised I do hope 2006 could show an 
improvement and be the start of a more popular and organised Linux users 
group based in Fife.

Admittedly this will be at least the fifth reincarnation of the Fifelug 
website. We have gone from PHP nuke, BB forums, Wordpress, Geeklog and 
now back to Wordpress. Our previous sites, in my opinion (while I am 
open to people tell me I'm wrong) were too big in clumsy. Almost every 
version of Fifelug's web site has had posts Forum is topics polls and 
host of other methods free users to collect and send information to 
other members. the thing that makes all of them obsolete was that some 
of our most active members never checked the forums.

 while some may see this as me punishing those who use the forums for 
the act of others I believe that alone proved they were not serving the 
function. I hope the new site and hopefully the site that will last the 
longest, this Wordpress site, will provide an easy method anyone regular 
member or not to find all the information they need to come along to any 
of our meetings by IRC chats at any other function or event we hold 
without any problems.

you now all know what I hope this website will be able to achieve all I 
ask from our current user base is one last change, an attempt from me to 
make things right, and allow Fifelug to become the community I believed 
it was able to be.
