EE Forums to be Revived!

In case you haven’t read the EE blog lately, the Forums are going to be revamped and EE is going to get involved again, and with a new set of moderators, maybe this place can regain its former glory!

The ExpressionEngine Forums were once a bright point and central hub for the community. Known for being active, friendly, professional, and accessible to all. It’s no secret that they no longer have that reputation, and it’s our fault. When we changed our support model to scale and provide better support for our growing community, we (EllisLab) stopped participating in our own forums. The community followed our lead and abandoned the forums and fractured. Some set roots in Twitter, some in Stack Exchange, some now in Slack, and many others with no place to call home. It’s been a poor and inaccurate reflection on the product and the community. Our support model is working, customer feedback remains high, and we’re able to manage the load alongside growth. But the community deserves to have that bright and central hub, so we are returning to the forums. Not for our primary means of support, but for engagement, to answer non-support questions, to give guidance, and to moderate so that the forums remain professional, helpful, and friendly… Back to the Forums So we’re going to return to the forums and improve on the previously successful formula. We’re going to simplify them, add some great moderators, and archive stale content.

Yay! Looking forward to Nov. 17th.
