You have performed a great service setting up the forum. It has been quite helpful for a lot of people, and long overdue.
Your comments on CentOS are exactly correct. I think very few people actually take much pleasure in the events there, since CentOS has been a great service to the community for many years. Their development crew seems to be under a lot of stress and not responding perfectly.
It does make a striking contrast with the supremely helpful people I've dealt with on the Scientific side though. I hope they get their issues resolved soon.

Can you link to the forums so we can all discuss stuff on there. It
would also be nice if somebody created a #sl channel on freenode too

Hi....the forum link is http://scientificlinuxforum.org. It's up to 155 members today. We're getting many CentOS "refugees" as of late at the rate of about 4 or 5 per day :) The Survey notice has been posted there under Announcements.
to clarify: we are pleased at the forum that we gain 4 or 5 members or more per day, steady. It's a lot of work and I'm actually out of pocket on it. We are not pleased with a CentOS demise. We don't allow any such meaningless remarks on the forum either, other than civil conversation and/or speculation in good conversation. Sorry for the waste of time.
