Here is a very brief update. We found some issues in Webmaster Tools that we are addressing right now. Basically before merging the sites we want to make sure things are as clean as possible. So we'll need a few more weeks to make sure the changes are working properly. We plan to update...

@Bahawolf - PM sent. We will be able to get the sites merged using a forum admin who has done this many times. Once the two sites are merged then we are going to look at a new platform to run Techist and that's when we might need some help. I know there is also a developer on Technist who...

We'll get the app fixed ASAP. We need to get a new app provider. The old one is no longer in business. We'll work on this right now. As for the merger, no posts/threads on either site will be lost. All the content from Computer Forums will be imported into Techist.com. That includes...

We had to tell Google that we officially changed names by using the change of address tool: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en Part of the change of address form checks to make sure the 301 rewrite rules on the old domain to the new domain are working. The problem is that...

Yes, we left the forum on there for now but in the long run we will only be called Techist. I love the idea of the VR section. I also think we should have some sections for SaaS tools that are common for people to use to make tech things happen. For example, we might find that there is no...

I can't answer your question but it's exciting to think about what we have to look forward to in the next twenty years. Amazon is launching 1 hour delivery, autonomous electric cars, drones, hyperloops, robotics, artificial intelligence, etc. We are living during a very interesting time in the...

Thanks.....

Auto play audio ads should not be showing on this site. Google uses an option of hover over for a few seconds to initiate audio. If you see any auto playing audio ads, please get me the URL so I can investigate (and block them). Thanks, Andy

Everyone deserves a hand, we could not have resuscitated this community without the ongoing contributions of everyone who is still around and posting. After a few anemic years we started to grow again last August. The best thing we can do to help the community grow and stay vibrant is to start...

Guys, you are over thinking this system. This isn't Stack Overflow or Quora. It's just a simple system to say thanks to someone who posts something of quality that you agree with. At this point we have no plans to create a public facing system to validate who is more or less knowledgeable.

At this point we have a pretty big team and will not be looking to expand in the near future. Many of team members joined the team under different ownership and because of that training from one owner to the next might have varied. We plan to spend some time working with our team providing...

The number of Thanks people get is NOT displayed.

You can see an example at this link: Mercury 75 - RIBnet Forums As I mentioned before, we don't have any magic tricks to revitalize a forum community but we have learned a few tricks over the years. If we can get more passers by to register and post then we should be able to get this place...

I think I have a pretty good grasp of the drama from the past, thanks for the info. I experienced something that sounds very similar on another forum we work with and it took quite a while to build up momentum again. Ironically, once the forums started to get active again some of the old...
