Same thoughts has crossed my mind but I don't think it's a good idea to
start something in advance, it will just give Logitech reasons to close
this forum down and it will indicate to everyone reading this forum
that we believe Logitech is about to pull the plug which might decrease
the interest for the products among new customers and due to this result
in decreased sales and increasing the risk of someone deciding to stop
selling Squeezeboxes.
If we want to start something new, it's easy to just post a link on the
official Logitech support forums when the catastrophe has happened.
Even though I'm also paranoid sometimes it's important to realize that
there is no indication what so ever that Logitech is about to shutdown
this forum or the Squeezebox products. The only thing we have seen is
that Logitech is at this moment prioritizing Revue higher than
Squeezebox, but that kind of prioritization happens in all companies
and it doesn't have to mean that the product is about to die. In my
mind the Squeezebox still have a brighter future than Revue, it's just
that Logitech haven't realized it yet. I'm 100% sure it's a lot easier
for someone to sell a Squeezebox than selling a Revue, the only reason
Revue is interesting is because its price is pretty low.

As long as they support the products I don't think there is much risk,
their support organization are very aware of the competence available
on this community forum, they often even refer their customers here
when the official support can't help them.
The risk was a lot higher a few years back when their support
organization wasn't aware of the competence needed and the competence
available in the community.
