For several months the mods have had the idea. Now, after the help of
many people, we are about to release it. We're moving the Google is
Awesome and Firefox is Awesome groups to a forum
<http://www.googleisawesome.com>. It is hosted by the generous people
over at Raydi Hosting, I bought the domain, I set up the forum
<http://www.googleisawesome.com>, and the mods from GIA and FIA will
also be mods in the new forum. But there have been changes made. The
users will have more options, there will be a new interface, and the
mods will have more control over the look and feel of the community. I
put AdSense ads on the bottom of the forum (just the bottom, we're
considerate of our users here at the IA groups ;-), and we'll be
earning money from them, whereas we did not earn any money from the
AdSense ads on the original group. This money will mainly go into
events and site upgrades. Now that we have an income, we'll give out
real prizes to go with our monthly events: itunes certificates, TLDs,
certificates at geek stores...everything we have the budget for.
>From now on, we ask you to post only in the forum. You cannot post
here any more. Posts are moderated, and we will not let anything get
past. At best, your post will be reposted into the forum, at worst, it
will be deleted.
Enjoy the forum. Thanks for being part of the FIA community.
