This has already been suggested before and personally I am
not happy to spend so much time going over old ground.

I do not want the compiz forums that we have built up AGAIN
to just be dumped because some people want to continuously
keep building a new one (because people like new things)

I think it is a total waste of everyones time when we should be
concentrating on what compiz needs (ie. documentation, howtos
new plugins, decorators etc etc)

The last thing we need to do is spend hours and hours pushing
forums about.  The same thing happened at your last hard drive
crash.  All the users were really keen to save everything but there
was no interest because it would be too much work.  In the end
it all disappeared.
