I am sorry that you have to give up on the forum. However I hope
whoever takes over to improve the features of the forum itself (I'd
like to see ssl enabled when I log in) and prevent spamming. The last
month the forum was horribly spammed and I am sure many have
potential good posters have gone for good.

Have you also considered to switch it to a mailing list, ideally
hosted here? A qemu-user mailing list would be nice.

Forums have moved to http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi (and it shouldn't be that 
easy for automated spamming engines to register accounts any more)
Qemu snapshot can be found at http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/qemu-snapshots/

I must thank Nomovok ltd [1] for donating little of my time (yes.. I'm 
beeing paid) for the Qemu forum hassle.

Thanks for hosting it! And thanks also to Hetz for hosting it  
throughout the last years. Really many qemu users appreciate it!

Personally, I'd also prefer a mailing list over a forum. Just to mention
it :)

Hey, I was thinking of creating a mailing list myself on either
Googlegroups or Yahoo (I have both accounts), then I have seen this:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/QEMU

I see it has a very low activity. I like the QEMU forum but I'll
start giving an eye to this, too.
