Well Ubuntu is the messiah of the open source world, it seems though they are breaking their own heads by using (hold your breath) proprietary Forum Software (Vbulletin) which is very un-opennish in nature on their Forums. Common ubuntuans,theres always the pengun ish phpBB as the savior..

Digg here to support PhpBB Digg - Ubuntu uses Paid Forum Software
 
A comment from your same digg link :

"The Ubuntu forums are privately owned by Ryan (ubuntu-geek) and launched unofficially in October 2004 as a personal project to fill a niche in the newly created Ubuntu Distribution, since its inception the forums have become the official English forums for Ubuntu and currently support over 140,000 registered members."

Frankly speaking, it seems really ridiculous. That desperate for publicity on techbirbal? :S
