Hi Karsten, Last week we ran a POSSE at Red Hat and the issues with TOS came up several times. In addition to the spam pages (and tons of spam accounts), the “count the cats” captcha required for creating an account is broken. Tom Callaway, Gina Likins, Heidi Ellis and I discussed TOS status a

Hi Karsten, For the past several years we've been running POSSEs from foss2serve.org and using a doc based application. To be honest, I'd forgotten that this app existed. So, from that perspective, taking it down should be safe. The only other person I can think of to check with would be Stev
