“The signals we were getting from the forum mods just before the shutdown was that progress with the new platform was already under way.”

Yes but do you honestly think that Kei et. al. will be aware of the actual situation, our are being told to say ‘xyz’?

Yeh, fine, they have about as much validity as if you asked my cat for a statement!

Sorry no, this is not how stuff works; your contract with a certain provider expires at a certain time and won’t be renewed, you know this and so take action well before to mitigate against it. Also ‘end of the month’; the original implication based on when to was posted was that it was end of January, which never happened. Here we are in mid February and the VM community forums still seem be on-line, albeit in a read-only mode, so presumably there is still some relationship with Khorus.

Anyhow, this is simply not how a competent company who genuinely want’s to maintain a forum works. Either VM are not competent to do this, or they simply don't want to have a forum.
