==History==

The Ubuntu Forums were created by Ryan Troy in October 2004.<ref>[http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php?page=about About Ubuntu Forums]</ref> The forums became a popular resource for Ubuntu and were deemed the Official Ubuntu Forums in November 2004.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/3796 | work = O'Reilly | title = Ryan Troy | access-date = 29 March 2012}}</ref> The forums hosting continued to be paid for by Ryan and the occasional donations of forum community members until March 2006, when Canonical offered to host the forums on its own servers. In June 2007, the forums' ___domain name, license, and assets were all transferred to Canonical, which now has sole ownership.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1688713&seqNum=2 | work = informIT | title = A Brief History of The Ubuntu Forums | access-date = 29 March 2012 | last1 = Mako Hill | first1 = Benjamin | last2 = Burger| first2 = Corey | last3 = Helmke| first3 = Matthew}}</ref>
