At one time an active help forum -existed there before a horde of trolls, troublemakers, and whiners descended on the -forum.

We will always do our best to help -everyone who emails us with support questions. However, Please check your documentation -and the website (especially the FAQs and maybe some of the forums listed below) before -e-mailing. You may get a faster answer that way, and the less e-mail we have to answer, -obviously the sooner we will be of assistance to those that need it.</p> - -<p>The e-mail address for technical support is: <var -class="LITERAL">support@slackware.com</var>.
