<body><div>Hi Jorge,<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I always saw Discourse as a discussion platform that never took off although I'm not sure why that should be. I'm subscribed to three other Discourse sites which seem to be using the platform very successfully with many new posts each day.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>May be Ubuntu Discourse arrived at the wrong time?<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally I would always look for solutions to my problems at the Ubuntu Forums which are long established but seemingly not always recognised as an official source of help. For general discussions I would also go to UF but you have indicated an alternative which I don't subscribe to.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>A rarely used forum or discussion site does not give the right impression to any visitors that might arrive from time to time.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I occasionally post on Discourse but with clear evidence of non-use then I readily support closing of the site but there should be a clear push to use other *official* alternatives. <br></div>

<div>I've gotten poked at by the Discourse guys that the site is pretty much dead. The CSS is unmaintained, groups that committed to using the site never materialized, and in general the original vibe we were looking for is seems to be centered around /r/ubuntu anyway. <br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to propose a shutdown/tail-off this cycle unless someone steps up to fix the issues and/or drive the project forward. <br></div>
