I noticed that a number of threads were closed lately and those of us who want to discuss Nitdroid are now forced to join and register for a site other than this one.

I don't remember this happening before. Can anyone have threads and use the same way to get users? For example, could Titan do that with the Overclocking thread?

I'm just trying to understand what's going on...

The developers of Nitdroid requested that. And the reason is simple: maintain one thread in one forum is more easily than maintain dozens of threads.

And after all T.M.O. is for Maemo, and Nitdroid isn't Maemo.

I joined the other forum. It isn't just one thread.

I knew the Maemo name change would eventually be used against us users.

Thanks for the response.

So I suppose we will be visited often with updates that direct us to this commercial site?

Or will we only be visited when information is needed by them?

I wonder how that'll work out.

Um... this is kind o' weird.

A Council member just reported that this is a "Lame Duck" term. I think that if I read right, our DebMaster recently reported that he has already moved on to MeeGo.

3rd party commercial software developers like Sygic, SPB, and Instinctive are just starting to realize the value of having engaged users available 24/7 for testing and feedback. I hope this doesn't mean that it's last call around here.

If it is, will the last person to leave please turn out the lights.

You continue to misconstrue what was meant despite two attempts at clarification. Repeating a misunderstanding doesn't make the wrong interpretation right. That's just pointless FUD.

As to thread closures: use Report Post to ask the moderator why he/she did so.

Sygic, SPB, Instinctive and all other programs runs on Maemo, the operation system of the tablets.

Nitdroid is another operation system that runs in the tablets.

If I'm not wrong, this site is called Maemo.org.

What's the problem if the developers want to centralize the development messages about OTHER operation system in one place that they control?

Anything in T.M.O. turns into a rant and FUD or I'm so much stupid that I don't undestand?

There is absolutely no problem with anyone wanting to manage a project at another site.

On the other hand, I do understand geneven's concern. There's no harm in discussing the project here, either. I avoided closing the thread for that reason.

I always support closing a thread if the OP requests it.

Just My $0.02.

I lean to that, sure, but not 100%. There are often mitigating circumstances. I think this could be one.

Meh.. IMHO if there's another user still curious or willing to maintain whatever that OP was about.. they can make their own thread.

If the NitDroid people are moving on to the NitDroid area and will not be keeping up over here to answer NitDroid questions and they requested the close.. I see no problem there. Users would end up coming here asking questions and not getting answers because the dev's are elsewhere.

If geneven wants to start supporting people on NitDroid over here then that's totally up to him.. he can make his own NitDroid thread.. it's not like we have a finite number of threads we can make ..

(well.. ok.. TECHNICALLY there is.. but you get the point..)
