The Future Of The Mac Forums... - gfx elite forums

People it is that I am kind of sick of the Mac forums.

See in the MacSection the mods are only here sporadic if they are here at all. I am not interested in having more work as I have in this project here already.

So if there is a community that is interested to keep this forums alive, good tell me how you are going to support it to stay alive... like do moderation and clean up the mess and so on.

I am willing to open the section again when there is enough interest. If not it will be closed for good. You can thank ahnuld as his interest has made me to open this forum and start this thread...

sorry for any inconvenience, people.

Please keep Mac section open. I do not have time or mental capacity to be a mod, but always will try to help if - when questions are asked.

Well, it would be wacky if the MacSection is going to be closed. I wasn't here often, but was there really so much mess here to make you sick? I know Mac user as kind ones...

I read the Mac Forum as I use both PC and Mac. I do understand if it is more trouble than it is worth for the Moderators though, but I do fine if helpful. I cannot be a mod but will try to participate more in discussions. I am new to MAC so do not know how helpful I will be but will do what I can.

Mac Sections are my favorites (Since I mostly am on a mac now) I still use PC and linux, but do spend more time on my macbook pro. It was great to have a killer site like this have a dedicated section for the mac's and that goes for the students at my college as well. whom all must use mac's for their design course work.

I suppose I could try to mod a section if you wanted me too. I haven't modded anywhere in over 4 years and those places were not places like this. but I'd give it a shot. I also didn't notice that the mac side was so messy, but then again I wasn't modding it so what do I really know.

Are you also getting rid of macfile???

Email me and we can discuss if I can help out at all.

Il leave DrNoXx to discuss with you about moderation as it will ultimately be his decision.

but please note that Macfile is NOTHING to do with this forum. It is a totally independent site and run by different people.

Please let the mac section open!! I'm a mac user and I found this sections very useful, like any others!!

pleas open the mac section. I am a long time mac user and with other forums having problems I think there are alot of people looking for a new home.

Also with the new mactel machines there are a lot of pc people switching because you can have the best of both worlds.

wow, how ironic, a gfx forum closing the mac section.

curious.

anyway, i'm a noob here, but will be willing to moderate, as I do so in a couple other forums.
