Well - I've taken the plunge!
When I installed a YaBB forum some seven years ago, I never imagined that it would grow as big as it did, with hundreds of posts on each of the subjects covered. And with that growth came growth panes where the forum became "Pot Bound" - unable to grow any further. So, over the last couple of hours (and in answer to a "where is there a good Expect forum?" question I have installed a Simple Machines Forum called "Ask the Tutor" to replace "Opentalk".
The URL is
http://www.wellho.net/ask
The main intent of the forum is to give past delegates on courses somewhere they can ask questions and share experiences, but I'm happy for others to register and post up good, Open Source, questions too. That way, the forum will develop and help everyone.
So - please visit "Ask the Tutor", register, and say "Hello".
