Hello
@catlover,
I am sorry, I really am!
To be honest, the idea of closing popped up a lot sooner. During the summer, as you all know, we went on a short break in hope of a new beginning after our return, but the expected big "boom" of activity just did not come. The shut down date, 01.11, was set a while ago, and since no significant change is noticeable in terms of sign ups - active members - posts - tutorials submitted - in any way, this bitter decision just had to be made.
I know the past month you've been super active, and I'm grateful for it
, however you can see we are stuck.
You went through many of our topics and could see the lack of content, activity going on in them. I don't see future in what we have now and don't think we should invest more time into this project.
I am not saying the topic, graphic design, is not a good choice for a forum community, but it should be interpreted and integrated into a forum concept differently than we did. Things just didn't work out for us.
If you have some ideas for a forum for people interested in this topic, give it a go! I had high hopes, but couldn't make it successful, wishing you better luck!
Or just spend that valuable time on improving your skills.
