Isn't it about time the Manufacturer's Forum section gets some house keeping?

A lot of the Manufacturers' Forums are pretty much dead. Carol-Ann and Egnater have been out of business for a bit now. Fractal has it's own forum, do they even know this one is still here? Cameron forum, come on really? The last post in that one was over a year ago.

This list of manufacturers is so long I completely forgot there was a Gear Review section after them. Isn't it about time that section get some house keeping?

Maybe post a notice in each one like... We are doing maintenance on sub-forums. The owner of this sub forum has 14 days to respond otherwise it will be closed due to inactivity.

And to not lose anything just nestle them into a read only "inactive forums" type thing. That way we could still get to all the old info if we need and could put them back on active status if the owner ever comes back around.
 
It's been brought up many times and the consensus is always:
It's worth keeping the dead ones 'cause support and info are often "impossible-to-find".

You have real-world examples of issues, fixes and related tips when often a manual or review article is all one can find. "Long-dead" sub-forums would still have been read for this reason.

You mean DOFE... hence my new title. :LOL:

On the efficiency aspect, it's all-good 'cause they cost nothing to maintain and moderate (duh) and yet benefit those who read them... for free.

Win / win...
