This is indeed a good point. @mherger, would you agree that it's safer to not stir things up? Are we that much of a threatened species? I have so far interpreted the freedoms that Michael enjoys at Logitech as a kind of support from Logitech rather than an "accident" (if anything, the community is an extremely cost effective form of caring for your brand (not to mention the reduced support costs). But if he agrees that we are in a precarious situation in which not even his negotiating skills with his superiors would help, I shall rest my case (though not without mentioning that it would cost less than 10 Â per month to host this forum independently on a VPS, and if the Forum is really under threat of being shut down, preemptively moving to an independent site may actually be the better option). bpa wrote: > > The frequent users of the forum is a small group who provide supporr and > assistance to occasional users. That is actually a common characteristic of many online communities and if it is an argument for or against migration at all, it is probably speaks more -for- a migration because the "occasional user" is more likely to appreciate the change (since it's not so much of a change for them and, more importantly, they would be the ones who benefit from features like improved search (honestly: if you have ever searched for a term on this forum, you know that it can only be improved, right?) bpa wrote: > > User who wants to discuss topics to have "fun" generally use other > forums. I'd say that serious discussion threads are compatible with "fun" just like you can say "My job is fun", but I guess my use of the term "fun" was misleading. I did not mean to suggest that people should come here to play around, make jokes, discuss nonsense or anything like that. What I meant is "enjoyable" or perhaps simply "a positive UX". *Server*: LMS 7.7.5 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), Boom *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, Custom Browse, Spotty, Multi Library ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107791
