My problem is I cannot actually gauge whether this is really a serious issue or not. I know quite rightly that people are upset with the EOL of Softimage so I am not sure if what is being expressed here is just a reference of that anger (which I can do nothing about) or really related to the wiki being a useful resource rather than an obsolete website no one visits. There is no point trying to save an obsolete website hoping to fix anger at the EOL of Softimage because it will not. Anyway I am still researching options including releasing the data (if it can be done so in compliance with our privacy rules) to the community– I do not know how feasible anything is. maurice

You either want to do the right thing or you don't. Your message had the same tone as a parent getting upset with children, and then acting childish to get back at them. Everyone is being a bit childish now, but none of the people you are upset with started any of this. It started with Autodesk killing Softimage, and continues with killing the wiki. You didn't personally "do" any of that, but the company you work for did. I may have missed it, but I did not see anyone personally insulting you (and if they did, that was wrong). But your response was as if they did. Which honestly, and with no malice intended, is not exactly helping the situation either.

From what I understand the server was maintained by a Softimage dev, that person is now doing other things, the server will be replaced and that will be the end and even by "Softimage" standards it has no traffic. As far as I see this has turned into just another excuse to take pot shots at Autodesk which while they may be fun is not convincing me that I really need to do something about this.

Right, that website produces only 0.00001% traffic of all AD websites. Therefore it has to be killed. Or Autodesk is now part of a secret www group that has the ambition to remove outdated websites. As, beside from that website, all other website (including the first forum posts on the area) are brand new. Imagine all the young artists searching for a Maya issue and accidentally reading Softimage help files, that must not happen! :-) Holger Schönberger technical director The day has 24 hours, if that does not suffice, I will take the night |> -----Original Message----- |> From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com> |> [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com>] On Behalf |> Of Morten Bartholdy |> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2016 5:03 PM |> To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> |> Subject: RE: Wiki EOL soon |> |> Almost nobody in Autodesk terms could be many in Softimage terms... |> |> To me it is invaluable to be able to find info on the odd |> tool or functionality every now and then, but I don't visit |> the Wiki when I don't need it.
