Question

Still no supervision in the French and Spanish forums?

I forgot that threads are extremely short lived in this forum, and the discussion that really began within an unrelated thread, here

Pierre Courtejoie, "Shouldn't these links be removed as soon as possible?" #8, 27 Feb 2005 1:21 pm

has already gone to the Archives, where it is in danger of going to the limbus in the near future.

I still think that this is an important issue, and still wait to see any improvement in those forums showing that the messages by Pierre and myself on the subject have not fallen in a void. Although we both value and thank Neil Keller for his attempts to get some reaction in higher quarters, his attempts have unfortunately been a failure.

It is pathetic to see pages in the forums in Spanish with templates that are written in a mixture of English and a very bad Spanish. It is even more pathetic that JC stopped more than a year ago feeling authorized to introduce any non trivial change to improve this situation. The worst part is however to feel that there is no one listening, or at least willing to admit that there might be problems in those forums.

I feel very disappointed.

    Hello, Jacob.

    >180 days, and they have flowed down the river of oblivion to reach the abyss and be gone forever.
    >They reach the Hospice, sorry the Archive, after 120 days so the last 60 days nothing can be done to bring them back to new life; unless one of the Saviours can save them.

    I did not see any Hospice/Archive in the French forums, so they seem to be going directly to the abyss after 180 days. In the Spanish ones, however, where there aren't any Hospices/Archives either, there seems to be no time limit or abyss; one can find messages posted in middle 2004. Maybe we are still too few over there. :-)

    Claudio,

    >Do you know if they are being deleted after xxx weeks/months?

    180 days, and they have flowed down the river of oblivion to reach the abyss and be gone forever.

    They reach the Hospice, sorry the Archive, after 120 days so the last 60 days nothing can be done to bring them back to new life; unless one of the Saviours can save them.

    Hello, Pierre. Curiously, my hopes are reviving. The fusion of the Adobe and Macromedia forums could hopefully leave Adobe Fenwick out of this business :-)

    By the way, some days ago I wanted to check if there were more topics in the French or in the Spanish forums. To my surprise, i did not find in the French ones any topic dated before the beginnings of December 2005. Do you know if they are being deleted after xxx weeks/months?

    The link for the correct thread to continue this off topic discussion has been given twice above. Just in case, here it goes again:

    Yes, Claudio is correct. The Latin America forum is not new, it has been listed on the Macromedia site for a long time. But the Macromedia web site went away yesterday and everything was combnined into the Adobe site. If you look through the list of forums at http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/index.html you will find all of the Macromedia product forums listed.

    I forgot to mention why I think this deserves a new topic: it seems to be one of the first results of the Adobe-Macromedia forums fusion; and it's most definitely NOT a result of splitting the Forums in Spanish.

    Thanks, Ramón, for noticing and pointing out this at such an early stage.

    I have just visited the new Latin American forums, and I think the matter deserves a new topic. Please don't continue this discussion here, but got to this link instead:

    There are now separate forums for Spain and for Latin America. :(

    ¿¿ QUÉ??

    It's not only Claudio who's going to have a heart attack ( ;) ). The gifted soul that made and splitted those forums has no idea whatsoever about the Spanish Speaking Web.

    Oh, boy! :( Esto no va a flotar ... no.
