[Bf-webcontent] about b.org forums removed?

[marco ardito]

I think this move is not so good, as it is now: users searching support 
forums face this writing:

<<The forums at blender.org are no longer the primary focus for using or 
developing Blender.  Since other sites and resources now serve the forum 
communities better, the b.org forums can be shut down as no longer needed.>>

And <<Blender development has also grown and is now conducted mainly on 
IRC, the bf-committers mailing list and various blogs.>>

And they are left with the only option to search a support forum themselves

<<There is now an active user community at BlenderArtists.org, for 
example. >>

I agree that that is a very active forum, but
- it's not under direct blender foundation control, it's a private site.
- many could think that the suggested community is dedicated to 
"artists"... but there's quite everything about blender topics (& off) there
- there were active threads/topics there... (I just went there yesterday)
- all the past thread/posts content could be still useful, anyway... now 
it's all lost?

This doesn't completerly make sense, to me. So, the website could state 
also that

<<"news" about blender are delegated to other active blog and sites, 
like blendernation.com, for example>>

... ?

just my 2c
