It's very silent here. I think most people left.

Hello,
I waited for the dust to come down a bit before posting.
The intention was to regroup all the wonderful knowledge into a single
place so all great minds could help newcomers with their excellent
advices. The forum did not have much activity for Avid DS and there
are numerous other forums where the DS community could pick great
information and even exchange workflows and tips.
The forum is also a place where users can provide their suggestions
and feedback about the product. It is totally acceptable to even post
complaints about what is missing or not working.
I research the e-mail question with the forum web developers and they
provided me this answer:
You can subscribe to one or all forums and receive the posts in
your mailbox:
Log in to the Community Forums.
Click the forum you want.
Scroll down and click the "Options" button.
In the bottom pulldown ("Send e-mail"), select the option you want;
never
when new topics are posted in this forum (new threads)
when new posts are posted in this forum (new posts)
Click "Remember!"
To reply to a post, though, the member would have to click on
the link they receive in their e-mail to return to the forums -
you can't reply via e-mail.
It is not like a mailing-list but this an option for users who wish to
lurk and read the discussions, maybe even participate.
I feel that going away to a separate mailing-list is like isolating
yourself from the Avid community instead of joining in with the entire
group, exchanging ideas and workflows between products, and helping
building the next generation of products by providing suggestions or
pointing out the current flaws.
I understand the overall reaction. Being at Softimage since 1992 and
living through two major acquisitions (Microsoft in 1994 and Avid in
1998), I know how upsetting things can be, or appear to be, at first.
Can I ask people to re-evaluate it all, when the emotion is taken out
of the equation? Maybe not today, not next week, just when you feel
ready?
Having a separate mailing-list is fine if that is everybody's decision.
The Avid Community Forums welcome anyone who wants to join.
