I prefer a new blog. freeme.in is hardly active now. Getting a domain + hosting is big deal. It would cost Rs 1k (maybe even less) for the first year. We need people who are really interested and committed.
By the way, you yourself can create a new poll.

We already have good hosting and a domain name! Agreed, its dead now, but we sure can revive it!
Mehul: Lemme know if you need anything from me.. I think i have admin access on Drupal, but i don't have FTP access.. Sorry was out yesterday night, so didn't come online at all..

I think that reviving an old blog would be better than rather starting a new free one. But thats just my opinion of course. Not to mention this one has a nice domain name and I'm sure with a bit of work it should be back in full form.

^Yes, whatever be the choice of host, we should try keep news to a minimal.
Even if we must post a news item , it should be small and rather link to the parent site for info.
So, the issue still isnt clear. Should we go with freeme.in or start from scratch.
Perhaps a poll is the only choice.

then add a poll
ok added a poll.
But, as it is you would like to go with a dedicated host in the future. Freeme has both dedicated hosting on a good server and a paid for domain name. And blog posts can be done on drupal too.
Then again your wish if you people would like to start from scratch.

@Mehul,
If its possible to get wordpress running on the host, and starting the blog from ground-up again, then maybe we can start off with freeme.in,
I was pondering over what you wrote and yes, someday we do have to start with a paid offering, and freeme.in has it ready.
I didnt find any decent looking drupal skins, also wordpress is easier to work with IMO.

Well I have enabled blog module for freeme and it's as easy to use. And drupal does better than wordpress to mange multiple authors with multiple roles.
We can also have sort of mini-forums for discussion and have moderators to keep tabs on posts and comments without having full access to administration. That makes drupal very viable.

^Hmm, I havent used drupal so cant say anything abt it.
But I couldnt find a decent skin for it, and IMO a weblog needs to look good, before anyone starts reading it.
Btw, is freeme.in down? You guys fixing something?
Also, make something clear please,
who owns freeme.in and who are the admins?

Yes freeme is down. see the previous page. There was an error and I am trying to fix it.
freeme.in domain name is owned by riyaz aka desertwind and hosting has been provided by ashish aka tuxfan. Both are old and trusted members of the forum. Ashish was also a mod of the forum earlier.
There's quite a lot of use old members who have got admin access to the site - digen, desertwind, GNUrag, kalpik, Satish S, ZeeshanQ, me. And a few others who have been helpful.
