Question

The Mail Exploder is at risk, Speak up NOW!

The shocking news from day one of PTC Live is that PTC want's to "absorb" the mail exploder into their on-line communities forum.http://communities.ptc.com you'll see the announcement of this at the top of the page.



I went up to Ron and Dan durning the break and said what are you doing to my mail exploder. The answer was there was pressure to only have one source of communication instead of some stuff on the forum and some via the mail exploder. They are having discussions next week on how to transfer the data from ptcuser to the ptc site.



I asked if I was still going to get emails and the answer was no.



I'm sorry but this is killing the goose that laid the golden egg.



Make no mistake, if you don't raise your voice on this issue the mail exploder will disappear.

    Almost as a rule, PTC Support does not post on PTC Community. Saying the same people always post and that they are "PTC Support" is completely false. They specifically try to stay "hands off" and let users help other users in the same way the exploder works. The amount of disinformation being spread on the exploder regarding PTC Community is really frustrating. Perhaps before posting information which is demonstrably not true, some due diligence might be in order.

    While I will defend everyone's right to dislike PTC Community, I find it very tough to sit by watching people unfairly malign a service which has been tremendously helpful to thousands of users who could not find the email exploder unless they knew the super secret handshake.

    How is it that we're somehow proud that the exploder is tough to find and that only the 'experts' know about it? If we were interested in truly being a community, shouldn't we be interested in bringing more people into the fold?

    My vote ---- DO NOT GET RID OF THE EMAIL EXPLODER......

    Keep it at PTC/User and leave it alone. If you like forums you have the option to look at these things through the forum interface. But honestly I will not use it if it goes just to PTC community forum only. We fought this once before and email was kept or brought back what every it was, but it was email accessible. And the people here like/love/want it.

    If I can figure out how to make an email exploder simply I will post a link here and allow all our long time users and colleges to join freely so we have a spot to go should this exploder vanish.
