    Majorgeeks has not participated in this actively in some time. This is reflected in the inactivity here. As you can see, we are modifying the forums moving forward with attention to computers, smartphones and tablets.

    You are welcome to continue, or start something up in one of the other forums, perhaps hardware, etc.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for letting us know. We'll move over to one of the other forums as soon as we've decided which one we want to move to.

    This post is puzzling because it seems to be replying to a post by someone else, yet no post precedes it here. Wondering if you can shed some light ...

    It is just a Public Announcement that is just letting everyone know there is some house keeping going on, eliminating old forums that are not see a lot of traffic.

    MajorAttitude...

    All respect, if you mean you are closing the Software Forum at Major Geeks, I think it's a mistake. Personally, I wouldn't say that decreasing traffic is justification for closing the forum altogether. The topics that appear on this board cover a broad variety of subjects, and there are many subjects haven't even been covered here that I am sure users will discover in the future.

    Rather than closing this forum, I suggest lowering its status/stature/profile some if you like. I understand the craving for knowledge when it comes to smart phones and tablets and so on, and it's more than a fad, but no way are these tiny devices going to replace the PC...

    Just my 2 cents. I really love MajorGeeks, and I am sure you guys will do what's best for everyone.

    The original reference was to the old Folding forum, I believe.

    It's a forum naming reshuffle to keep things pertinent to current usage and more recent hardware, tablets and smartphones and stuff ;) and some of the less well-used areas have been incorporated into new/different zones.

    Thanks. It's clear now.

    Maybe this should be made a temporary Sticky topic.

    Well, then we would need 10 stickies in here for closed threads. Older members can figure it out, newer members wont know the difference.

    All folding threads were moved here and like others stickies that had been stuck forever, they were unstuck. You have an advantage of reaching more people now, people who would never go to the folding forum.

    Oh...OK

    Thanks Brownizs...I remember that project. I thought that the reference to folding meant the the Software Forum here was "folding"...

    Major Attitude, you scared me there dude...you should capitalize those forum names when you type them...rolleyes. Anyway, I personally think the changes are great that I have seen so far. Guess there will be a whole new type of guru for tablets and smart phones now...

    :)
