no, i'm not.
but i'm familiar with both the forums and the distro.
bunsenlabs started off as a community continuation of crunchbang, with the laudable approach of staying as close to vanilla debian as possible (no binary packages for example).
since the term "distro" isn't very well defined, it's debatable whether bunsenlabs were one or not.
"were", because they have since moved away from that approach. there's a few binary packages now, mostly tint2 iirc.
just like crunchbang forums, bunsenlabs forums are very inclusive and there's a lot of non-technical and cross-distro conversation there.
i've known the residents for many years and still like to hang out there although i don't use the distro anymore.
i used crunchbang as my main distro for a while, in my early days, after turning away from ubuntu.
and btw, i'm not playing devil's advocate here because a few months ago HoaS left the bunsenlabs team.
interestingly they also stopped posting to the forums, from 100 to 0 just like that, because of "time commitments" and haven't started again since (although they obviously seem to have too much free time at their hand).
i don't know what happened there, but apparently something else than just "lack of time".
incidentally, i called HoaS out on their behavior a little before that. things having developed as they now did, plainly to see for everyone, i do feel a little clairevoyant...
