I don't know if it's a good idea. why will them discard they forum for our? or make a competition?
why not first ask the actual community?
As you have experience in forums, could you ask it? Guessing what or what not their opinion is is just that: guessing. It could go from 'why do you want to ruin my website' to 'I am glad you finaly take this Burden of my shoulder'.
So who is going to ask what their opinion is?

it's not clear. this. I did read "ask them to be moderator". do you mean: "ask them to shut they forum and to take our"?? this is not the same question. for the first question (moderator) they may say yes (two of them already said yes - I am one of the two :-), but they may still be a loyalty problem: do I answer to my forum or to the other one? do I accept this on my forum and not in the other. for the second question (shut and move "take this Burden of my shoulder"), I don't think it's a question I would like to ask but mostly, I think it's an error. Do this if you find nobody else, yes. I said some time ago that what we need is some light tasks we can give to new community members. we can stick members to open suse giving them work to do. small job in the beginning. Being part of a moderating community (if we decide to moderate) is a small job and can make somebody an active member that would not be elsewhere. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Quelques images: http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html
