So why the new Forum?

#1

Just curious why the new forum was created and split off of Smart things Community?
Dont get me wrong, I think its a great idea, as WC and Core were just dominating things in that community.

#2

Too much volume of posting, too few threads and way to organize. Stuff has been asked and answered over and over and gets missed with 40-50 posts per day in the thread(s).
We asked Tim to break out a separate main category for WC and he didn’t want to. Hence the new community.

I’ve seen his response and this was a sad day. ST should be throwing money at @ady624 and embracing each and every WC user. The community make their platform relevant, let’s just hope they keep it that way. This kind of reaction seems a bit shortsighted from my chair.

All that being said, while I totally love this independent board, I would have loved to see more openness from ST and a more united community, as a whole.

That was the original goal, this is only a reaction to that unwillingness to make more of a home for webcore in the official SmartThings forum and ecosystem

For webCoRE, the sky is the limit. ST is just ONE cloud! There may be other clouds coming together in the future, who knows what @ady624 has in the goodie bag for us…

Hey @Benji, welcome! Glad you made it …

Careful now, ST is still the underlying platform, don’t throw your hub just yet lol

Precisely. Just yet.

We need ipv6/Z protocol gateways, then we’re set. Care to comment?

#11

You know you’re killing us with that Frankenstein profile…

#12

Careful, or I will have to assume elements of your identities.

I just need to figure out where to pack them away at, I am almost at capacity.

I’m down for a Kickstarter campaign :smiley:
