Hello all.
I am in the process of setting up a discussion for the Groklaw community.
I'm going to try and preserve the features we are accustomed to, so I will allow accountless posting.
Please do not spam, you will be warned and then eventually blocked.
I need some moderators to help out, but I will only accept some of the long timers (i.e. registered posters on Groklaw).
Please PM me if you are interested.
There will undoubtedly be some teething troubles and some things to tweak.
I think we have a great community, and I wanted to preserve that.

Hi Dude,
I will help moderate when I am around.
I think if all the old regulars are given moderator privileges we can cope with the spammers, shills, and griefers.
Not sure how to prove to you I am Gringo.
I guess I'll just post a note under your announcement on Groklaw that I responded here.

I'm going to add a link to here on the main slashdot article about Groklaw going dark...

I'm glad to see somebody took the initiative to continue to legacy of Groklaw. Sadly many of the people who followed Groklaw won't notice the tiny link to this new forum. Hopefully the search engines will eventually lead them here.

hey guys... thanks OpensourceFTW for starting this... i tried emailing you this afternoon when i got home but my new account was blocked because Google thought i was a spammer... so i opened ANOTHER new account and this one seems fine. but by then you had already gotten the wheels turning on this project.
i look forward to continuing the tradition that PJ started. I will definitely help do may part.

I hope all this is unnecessary. It will be hard to get used to it.

This will definitely take some getting used to, but at least we can all talk.
I'm going to try and make this as much like Groklaw as possible, I'm even allowing nonmembers to post to a degree.
If any of you have more experience with this, please let me know.
I'll open up the newspicks forum so we can talk about the news.

I notice the wikipedia article was edited to link to this site.
Great.
If you need anything or have any questions, just PM me.
I have accepted 12 of you for staff. If you can tell me your groklaw username (and I can verify it), then I'll add you on the moderator staff.

Hi everyone and well done for restarting the board so quickly.
Glad my daily "fix" won't be over so soon!
Personally I prefer the format to Geeklog and this interface is so much better.
I hope we'll be able to post the final chapter of SCO and the ongoing Apple-v-Samsung war as I can't wait to see how it all ends.
All the best

Well, that was quick. I guess the new moderators are working quite hard today!
