Old forum is now closed

[Stu]

Craig,
I didn't really mean to include you in my little blast above....you seem to be the only living, breathing, feeling Google person prepared to inter-act with us Wink

And sorry Mate, it was @Last that sent me dreaming into a 3D world I had never been to before.....I wont say Google SU has been a nightmare, but the excitement [and brand loyalty] has evaporated.

I am not intending to get involved in the G Group.....for me it's here or nowhere, but I do think it was discourteous of Google to pull the plug on the old forum without leaving even a brief note explaining what was happening.

It's back....

Though yes it was a bit odd that there was no announcement of the weekend closeure.

I suggest we take this little down time to go back in and collect whatever we might have created over there... so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle...

the Old Forum is up now... so if there is something there you made... go and back it up...

as for the SketchUp Team... and the Websites that talk about the program... I'm willing to go anywhere to talk about sketchup and help people learn about it... I send most of my clients there to get the free version... so they can view my models

I think Google for the massive entity it has become is working pretty well with the community... we have our gripes but I work on websites as well and Matt Cutts is always talking directly to us... and that's huge telling us what they want to see... and its always the same...

"make the content and they will come, and google will light the path to your door."

I think that the SketchUp Team is watching us... and I think their going to take to heart the things they see us asking for... so I'm very excited about this.. it's really in the best interests that they made us do this... now we don't have to beg them for what we want... we can show them...

the idea box will be up soon...

It is up again.

Re: "Shaun Lives!"
yes - most certainly, but I'm in the midst of selling my house and getting ready to move into the new one - a baby on the way and a very busy work schedule - so I haven't had much time for SU. Actually none :< I shall be back and will invite you all over for a party when I build the SU model of my new house.

Interesting piece of trivia:
800 sq ft "birdhouse" in Edmonton - Cost: just under 300K. The most amazing part - that's a really incredible deal -there were only 2 others in the city (of 1 million people) under 300.

So yes I live, but ask me in a month! Smile

Hi guys, the final migration is planned for 12 MST (U.S. Mountain Time) today, July 9th, and the old forums will be decommissioned then. I know, sadly this time has come.

I hope you'll stop by the Groups now and again to see the updates we're planning, and I sure do appreciate all of your contributions to the old forum. That's where I first met you all!

In the meantime, there will be a redirect from the old forum link to the new Groups link when the migration is complete, and I'm sure I'll see you all here.

Cheers,

• CraigD
