This forum (which is technically not forum, more a mailing list) 
have quite little problems with trolls. Few people even find this 
place.

The problem this forum is that the discussion often derails into 
off topic (which even this post is). Many threads seems to derail 
into some kind of despair and whining over the state of D. This 
is of course not very productive and might be a reason that D 
development is going slowly. People who are doing are not trolls 
but perhaps more dejected people. You are allowed to be 
dissatisfied and dejected but threads must stay on topic.

BTW I would be happy if you would upgrade the D forum to 
something more modern. With a modern forum you will also get 
better functionality for moderating the forum.
