You know it's not like the French Forum has a legion of posts either. I just opened the 'v16 Corner' and the first 50 posts span from last Friday to March (of this year). 50 topics in 7+ months. The 'Current versions(v16-v15-R)' first 50 is from yesterday to July. These are the English ones. The

I am relatively new to this list so I do not have a perspective on past history but I read the emails every day and have found the list extremely helpful. I have posted a few questions and received helpful advice. I find it much easier to keep up on the mailing list vs. remembering to browse

I was shocked to see how few attendees there were at the Tour stop in New Jersey a couple years ago. My impression is that the developer- and user-base is way too small, considering how good 4D is. But considering the endless learning curve, and obsolescence of earlier databases, I shouldn’t

Perhaps it’s partially due to the fact that some post mysteriously never get through and also do not bounce back. I’m having that problem right now with another message I’ve tried posting twice and am waiting to hear back from the list boss. In between, I posted a “test” message which went

Correlation does not imply causation. We have a lot of 4D developers working here, but I'm on the only who participates actively in the list. Also, 4D has a lot fewer "issues" these days than in the old days. The user base is definitely a lot smaller compared to the gay 90s, but we've all

I think we’re all too lazy to get up and move all the way over to the 4D forums. I do go there for research and find the forums much more active, and with far many more users than we see here. And with 4D themselves pushing us in that direction, I see more and more of us who have been on this

Chip, I've noticed the same thing. Sadly I think your suspicions are founded. 4D doesn't share much information in the way of marketing statistics. Paul > On 5 oct. 2017, at 18:52, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > I know that many of you have been on this

I know that many of you have been on this list for a long time, as have I. I have noticed, over the past couple of years, that the volume of email on this list has dropped - a lot -. It used to be, that if I was out of the office, or whatever, and unable/unwilling to check email for 1 or more
