I just came from the forums at raymondcamden.com, and he has announced that the forums are going to close. Looks like the end of this week. There is a small chance that he’ll move them somewhere else, but his initial post did indicate closing the forums.
V/r,
When I said “regulars”, I pretty much meant you.
If the site had more traffic, I’d just move it to coldfusionbloggers.org/forums or some such.
I’ll make you a deal - if we can get 4 other people to chime in - just 5 users total - I’ll do so.
Let’s go Sitepoint, we need to help chime in.
Will you link me to that post please?
I’m happy to do something to welcome people from that forum over here if you think that would be useful. I’d rather they came here than went to SO.
It can’t hurt… however, be aware that most of the users I’ve seen for the last several months have only posted a few times, then didn’t come back, and the users who have a lot of posts (excluding me) typically haven’t posted anything for quite some time, so I’m not sure how many would gravitate to SPF.
As Ryan quoted, Ray pretty much meant me when he said “regulars”. LOL!
Also be advised, Ray did indicate a small chance that he would MOVE the forums (like to cfblogger.com/forums), too. (shrug)
V/r,
No probs - if you don’t think it’s necessary then that’s fine. Do what you think makes the most sense.
I’m not saying to not try to get users, I’m just saying that there might not be many users to get. He’s closing it because it’s ostensibly inactive. I’m currently the most active user, there. And other than today’s announcement of closing, there hasn’t been a new post in (I think) over a week.
The odds of him moving it I can’t really comment on, because I honestly don’t know. He originally told me that if I could get four other members to speak up, he’d move it to another forum - I tried, no luck.
V/r,
Yeah, I saw that. It’s pretty telling.
Welp… he did it ahead of schedule. Raymond Camden Dot Com
No more forums, and a complete overhaul of the look and feel.
Looks good, I think. (Even though it’s Disqus, but I’ll not hold that agin him.)
