Techlore shut down its forum

Though I don’t think anyone considering to learn about privacy ought to be scared away from PG just because it is likely more advanced of a discussion related to privacy tech and policy.

I wasn’t when I was still active on Techlore forum and I found my way here to ask the right questions and learn accordingly. Of course it helps if you’re already a little tech savvy. I think it will come down to how each person asks and requests to learn about what they want to and keep engaging to learn more.

This brings me to a new idea: whenever a new user joins the forum, they ought to choose where they are in their privacy journey or how much they already know about the subject matter often discussed in advanced manner here. A tag or a label next to their name should indicate something to show that this person is brand new and we ought to take it easy and always ELI5 when answering and addressing their questions/concerns. What do you think? It would make PG more approachable.
