To all the contributors on this forum,

On behalf of the thousands of users that visit this forum every month, a heartfelt Thank You!

You, and your expertise keep this forum going. Thank you for some very interesting discussions this year, and for keeping us on our toes. We do understand that you have the user's best interests at heart. You have been customer advocates even before that term became fashionable.

A special round of applause and thank you to all those that took time to visit the Muse forum post the EOL announcement and provide users with the much-needed guidance they were looking for.

On behalf of people that have not apologized after stepping out of line during their interactions with you, I offer you mine. It is beyond the comprehension of some people to believe in your altruism, and in a world driven by motives, that is probably a given.

To those that are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, I hope that you find joy, peace, and happiness in whatever you have planned for the day, and after. I look forward to your continued presence after you are done with the merriment.

Cheers,

Preran

    These thousands of users must be very shy...........or experts.

    The figure quoted is not really reflective of the activity. Its usual to get less than 10 posts a day now. Back in the day I could jump onto the for-runner of this forum and it would be active 24/7, dozens of posts and contributions from a stream of regular and new users both knowledgable and beginners, was a good and vibrant place back then.

    I know it may sound unlikely, but it is possible that most visitors actually find the answers they want using the search function. I just wish there was some way to know what they are searching for, and if they do find the answer or go elsewhere.

    Many web dev forums now are not getting that number of post of even 2 years ago.

    Thats true but out of the 'thousands' you would think a few more would be participating.

    Its true about web-dev forums in general, I have noticed a huge drop off in activity.

    Thanks, Preran. It is a good sentiment. But the fact is that Dreamweaver is dying a slow death. This forum has but a handful of regulars and it has become in essence, a small support medium for Bootstrap... not Dreamweaver. I sincerely hope that Dreamweaver can someday reassert itself... with its own distinct personality and purpose, not merely as a half-baked front-end for Bootstrap.

    Thanks to you also Preran for the time you have given to the forum, and the patience you have shown with many of us. We can go off track, (and often do) but it is mostly well meant when we do.

    I'm not certain how much we helped with the EOL of Muse, but at least we tried.

    You are being very kind to Paula , I would have said, half a century of experience .

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Thanks, Peran. And those of us who come to the forum to maybe learn something new or hopefully offer workable solutions are also grateful to you for your administration of this sometimes boisterous community.

    Thanks for your kind words, Preran.   This year has posed many challenges.  At times, it has been a bumpy ride.  But I think most of us are adult enough to not take things personally.  At least I hope so.   Anyway, I know  you don't eat turkey, so I'll save you some Thanksgiving apple pie .
