I'll see that we get a sticky posted on the openSUSE forums so those who 
aren't aware are aware.  OK?

Which forum would you suggest that be put in?  When we announced the last 
outage, at least one user said the announcement was in "literally the 
last place he would have looked" (the forum announcements forum, 
ironically).

In this instance, the address change was in the FAQ, but clearly the FAQ 
is the wrong place for frequently asked questions (?), because you hadn't 
been up there to note that the address had changed.

If we post it via NNTP in a forum, then it'll be clearly visible for 
about 3 weeks, but as it ages, it'll fall further and further down the 
active threads list, until NNTP clients don't even pick it up because the 
messages' age is too old.

So....where do you suggest we make such an announcement where we know 
that everyone will see it so we don't have to go through this again in 3 
months? :)
