Well djy, I did exactly what you suggested, and here are the results.

Shortly after I posted this:

--------------------------------------------------------
"As it is IMHO, this forum gives an otherwise fantasic site a black eye.

....Some new user stumbles across RC and sees this forum expecting to read the latest and greatest articles, and ends up seeing it, (for all intensive purposes) unused by the people it was created for. That paints a pretty sad picture of how seriously the industry (CE Pro/Electronic House) feel about RC as a resource.

I'm just kinda curious how long this forum will be allowed to drift in limbo before it gets removed and the server space re-utilized."

RC's home page is now the only way to access the CE Pro/EH forum.
http://www.remotecentral.com

If you scan RC's forum index page. You'll notice the link to the same forum is gone.

I'm thinking it being phased out but some things have been missed.
