I will be in charge of the ARSlist Group in BMC Communities. If BMC breaks it’s word to not interfere, and I have no reason to expect them to, then the classic ARSlist can appear quite quickly if there is the will to do so (in part meaning the cash to support it).
I expect the ARSlist to continue as it has, as an uncensored area primarily for Developers to speak their minds, 3rd parties to gather and either comment or sell their wares, and for the occasional bout of bad taste humour. Happy to drink to the change of platform for the list and loss of old friends to the Snow Ball, and great old friends back to ARSystem fold. My understanding is that Stan is trying to get a coalition of the willing together, and if he succeeds I will accept continuing to run the list on the current platform, but I will still open the communities ARSlist to the world (it has been there for 3 years waiting for me to do something with it, BMC has patiently let me do things if and when I want to).

I don't look forward to posting only in the BMC communities and having my epic rants censored when BMC makes a bone headed decision to change the platform without consulting us, or roll out patches that break our systems and make our managers start uttering the most hated words in our universe: Service Now. I will miss the independence of our community. I look forward to seeing some of you at Engage and having a farewell toast to our little corner of the Internet.

Now that I think about it there was only one time I called censorship foul on BMC. A blog post was "cleaned up" to be used for marketing purposes (the person that asked for the comments to be removed stated they support the conversation, just not on that post).

Still read by over 4000 as far as I can tell, how many more I don't know. IF everyone joins the ARSlist on BMC Communities we carry on and they will still see what they see now. If you really think it should stay the way it is now, contact me off line to be the sponsor, all it takes is cash. That being said, I am still of the opinion that the community would be served better being in communities.

While the number of interactions might be done, am I correct in saying that these people will no longer have any idea of the issues facing engineers? Thanks.

If communities can't provide it I am working on a work around (sound familiar?) Basically we can send the emails to somewhere else where the day gets bundled and people go there for the digest. Given the current volume, only having a digest doesn't seem to have the same priority as when we had 130 posts a day.

You get an email for each post, and you can reply to the post using email. To get the complete thread you click on a link in the email to read it. Or the thread view, in my email reader, also works fine on the communities emails. It is easy to create a mail-sorting-filter on the subject of the email to get all future ARSList emails into a separate folder, just as I get my current ARSList emails sorted :-) So if you do not want things to change, it can stay more or less as it is now. I think that Dan has made sure that something similar to the digest emails will also be available. Right Dan?
