Lasto

Looks like web forum vanity to me. [1] alexa shows no traffic information (meaning not within top 100 000) and Wikipedia is not a web directory. Delete. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 00:35, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Forum with no real purpose, it says. Wikipedia is not a web guide. Geogre 02:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy. It's not a forum itself, rather forum software such as phpBB2, that costs, making this spam. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 08:28, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• No vote, but I object to the above call to speedy delete it, after all we have an article on vBulletin which people must pay for, and DiscussionBoard, which itself was subject to a VfD which it survived. And also, it's free to use for non-profit organisations. Talrias (t |

Fair enough, I should have explained myself a bit better with the speedy vote. vBulletin is a very popular program. It is used by many sites, regardless of the fact that its costs money and there are free alternatives around. Indeed, Lasto is also "free" to non-profit groups, but it still makes money from other groups and is, by my reckoning, inherently nn - to date I have not found a single board that uses this software.

Thanks for clarifying. Seeing as you've done some fact-finding I support deletion. Talrias (t | e | c) 14:23, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable but not a speedy. --W(t) 13:22, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
