I am considering entirely closing and removing the old MSN community forum.
It has been nearly a year since this new forum has come online, and the information contained in the old forum becomes less useful as time goes by. Additionally, there's a continual stream of new user requests for that forum - most of which are spammers, but some of which are authentic - people who've stumbled on the wrong forum by accident and end up being redirected here eventually.
Does anyone see any issue with eliminating that old forum?
I don't know if Terrence monitors this forum, but if so, what would this do to www.searchcsla.com? Perhaps it can go away as well, or perhaps it can remain as a searchable archive of the old forum?
I would be disappointed to see the old forum go. Even though some of the information is obsolete, there is still a lot of good information on design and other things that are not dependent on a CSLA version. It would be a shame to lose this valuable information. Whenever I have a question that is not dependent on a CSLA version, I always use searchcsla.com first. It seems to me that more people participated in the old forum. Because of this, I usually find better answers in the old forum.
I don’t think searchcsla.com would be affected if you removed the old forum. I think it stores its information somewhere else. Whenever I made a change to one of my posts 30 minutes after I posted it, the change would not take effect on the seachcsla.com site.
I don’t mind if the old forum goes as long as seachcsla.com site stays up. However, I would not like to see both go down. There is still a lot of good information on the old forum and it would be a shame to lose it all.
