Yes I am and in retrospect think we did the wrong thing by making the statement "... the forum will close please go over to cdnusers.org". It is kind of embarrassing, but we should have asked. The decision to move was a hasty one and it doesn't feel right to me anymore. The general idea behind cdnusers.org is good, but at the end of the day it is up to this group to decide where to communicate and network. Austin said it in one of his posts. If cdnusers.org is better, people will go there and this list will disappear naturally. So, maybe it would be a good idea to unsubscribe from this forum if a user is moving to cdnusers.org. That way we can see what people want and once we reach the 2/3 mark (480 users) we suggest that the rest moves over as well.

Now I'm really confused. Are you the same Andreas that signed your name at the bottom of Michael Catrambone's first email (dated 3-7-06) about supporting www.cdnusers.org ? >>> akulik@xxxxxxx 9/03/2006 6:06 a.m. >>> Hi all, Let me try to bring end to this thread. First of all, I think this forum is great the way it is and works. If CDNusers.org can provide the same functionality ... Great! If not ... Well that is just to bad? Logging on to a website to respond to an email is ridiculous. Ever heard of email tools such as MS Outlook? I don't want to tell the web team at Cadence what to do, but I suggest that they take a look at Encartis (see freelists.org) if they are seriously interested in making this work. Anyway, if users like to create their own forum they will do so, no matter how hard you try to prevent this. Having said all that, I don't think it is in the best interest of the users that this forum moves or is being closed. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This list will stay active and I will continue to maintain/own it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To the CDNLive team, We can continue the discussion about moving to CDNusers.org if CDNUsers.org can provide the same functionality as requested in so many emails by the subscribers of this forum. This list will stay alive until further notice!!!

Thanks, Mike! Hello Andreas, I have a few questions and I'll understand if you prefer not to answer: Are you committed to (eventually) closing this forum? If yes, will any amount of pleading by the users to keep it open change your mind? If not, would you consider passing on ownership to someone who wants to keep it running?
