This is an idea that was created in the forums, so I thought that I should file
a feature suggestion about it here, so something can get done :)

The idea is to create a fortune-mod-gentoo-forums with fun/interesting quotes
from the forums. Why not since you have fortune-mod-gentoo-dev?

Here are a few to get started with:

You know you're using the computer too much when...

You know you're a geek when...

I'm sure there are more.

And there are probably many other topics you can get interesting or fun things
from. There are just the ones I saw right now, and I don't have time to search
for more right now.

So, what do you think?

I like this idea and would be willing to take this bug if no one else wants
it... note that it'd be a while to find a few more funny posts.

I also like the idea (in fact it was mine :p )
I've already done the "You know you're using the computer too much when..."
You can find it here: http://titeuf.ph34rus.org/toomuch.tar.gz (7,3 KB)
it needs to be extracted to /usr/share/fortune

Please don't create ebuilds for it, as I don't know how long my site will be up. If this can be hosted on the gentoo servers like the other fortune-mod* it would be great :)

There will be a few bumps over the next few weeks as more is added, but the
initial package is now committed :).
