I'd echo this.  Even though we'd all love to have popular forums on our
own space, the convenience of having them all in one place would make an
individual one more likely to succeed.  Besides, most people know their
way around the UbuntuForums.

My only other reservation would be the URL.  '.co.uk' is fine for me,
but may get others thinking that it's specifically for UK folk.
