Re: VM Community Forum Move
The last two posts were actually made 6 days ago, by nodrogd and myself in the VIP Lounge. That forum board is only visible to Forum Moderators and Forum VIP's.
VM are in the process of selecting a new provider and currently working through how the new structure will operate including merging and migrating all the data from both the VM and O2 communities into a new combined forum.

So they haven’t yet selected a new provider, nor have a proper plan for how it will look or how to merge the posts from the old VM and O2 communities?
One would have thought that such things would have been already decided and worked out some time ago - it’s starting to give a distinct whiff of ‘not properly thought through’.
So does the contract with Khorus terminate at the end of February, in which case the old VM and O2 forums will probably just vaporise? Well they've got two weeks, so let’s see.

So they have closed the current forum but havent even selected a replacement yet.  Sounds like more poor planning by VM.

Re: VM Community Forum Move
Or maybe VM are hoping for a last minute callback from Khorus with a better offer and a bigger discount..
 Just joking

Too be fair, I’m not convinced they know how their own company is run, let alone O2!
