I've been considering shutting down the forum for the better part of a year, and finally went through with it. I've not been very happy with it as a means of communication with users, and I often found myself neglecting it.
I'd like to put my focus more into YouTube and other social media for public communication, and anything else can easily be handled by the support ticketing system. Thanks for your great posts over the years!

i mean, okay, if that's what you want, but i should note that, although i'm probably the minority, i don't follow/use any social media services. i hope the mailing list doesn't suffer the same fate
I don't know what to write here that won't be censored, as I can only speak in profanity.

Well, you have to have a mailing list! Forums are really an optional thing - some companies have them, others don't.
As someone who's been a moderator on many forums going all the way back 20 years, I'm kind of burnt out on the format, more than anything.

Thanks! Sorry to disappoint, I just got burned out on the format. It has absolutely nothing to do with you - on the contrary, I always looked forward to your insights.

One of just a few company forums I kept an eye on. I prefer KVR to the social med platforms. I guess the mailing list will have to suffice. I appreciate that all of this stuff takes time and isn't necessarily the most productive part of a developer's day.

I know there are pockets of interest here on KVR and also at GS, but as someone who reads the “new posts” of both everyday, it seems that the quantity, and certainly quality, of contributions to these fora have diminished recently. I date it from the “meter debacle” on the Brainworx SSL thread this summer, but maybe I’m imagining things.
As someone who dislikes social media, I finally held my nose and signed up on Facebook, and after an immediate desire to cancel, have now followed all the software devs I’ve patronized.
I’m pretty happy now with the arrangement, can get news with much less effort, and of course much less acrimony. So I sympathize with Kazrog’s decision to move on.
My next step is to bookmark certain threads and people on KVR and GS, and drop the “new posts” habit.

FYI it was EvilDragon and others posting in your forum that led me to purchasing your software. I rarely use social media for companies, only friends so I wouldn't have seen this product.
Best of luck!

I rarely use social media only when I have to. I prefer KVR personnaly maybe I'm old school. So it's Facebook and/or Twitter right ?

Count me as another Kazrog client that avoids and dislikes both Facebook and Twitter.
I like Youtube but I rarely go there initially for music products or VI/effect developers channels.
I can tell you I spend much less time @ Youtube than GS,KVR or VI-C.
For me Youtube is more about entertainment,TV news shows I missed etc......occasionally for walkthroughs and demos.
FWIW Christian Henson from Spitfire stopped posting @ VI-C (I followed his thread on VI-C daily)he moved his online presence to a dedicated Youtube channel about 3-4 months ago and I've never visited it.
For developers this move might make sense but I suspect many Kazrog clients might prefer forums.
Good luck!
