Process of Moving on from the OculusVR Forum

Did not want to fill the General Forum discussion up with this clutter, but also wanted to explain in a post rather than answer all the PM's individually. 

Question = Where have you been?
I received some PM's asking why I had not been as regular in posting as I had been. Part is due obviously to the World Health situation, and the need to look after clients and investors that are crawling back and re-opening their facilities in the LBE scene. But also there has been limited news of real interest on the forum. The reality of the Facebook announcement gave one point of interaction, but then seeing how the responses were being "played" I felt its best to take a step back and focus more on the discussions at the closed forums that I post or moderate.  

Question = Will you still be posting?
Well, yes and no.
I have decided that after the Facebook Connect 7 announcements [have a media key so will be logging on in person] - I will join in some of the forum discussions, (hoping for some lively exchanges of views in a civil atmosphere), but now as I mark coming up to some seven years posting on this forum that I may now turn the corner and with its merger into the new VR Social Media strategy, I may take my leave. I will however use my Quest at least a couple of times to try out the new medium of Horizon Forums, but at which point I think by January will move on, (though this may happen sooner than later so wanted to post this).

Just wanted to thank all the moderators and friends made on this service over the years, shame so many have moved on, but at least we can hock up at the other forums.

Wish all well, and look forward to seeing the advancements made in the next seven years.

Obviously I hope the forum "situation" is not Titanic! 
We have seen an incredible churn in posters since the changes, and we will obviously have to wait and see after October how the forum is going to be reshaped. Having learned of the new moderation style being employed I wanted to at least give the reasons for my limiting of posts (thanks for the kind words), and too those that have joined me over at the Facebook Oculus Dev forum, expect to see me more active there. But lets hope this is only a short vacation 🙂

No we haven't. We have seen an incredible influx in posters. This thread is a thinly veiled attempt to attack...

the new moderation style


LOL. Right, so you are upset that things don't work like before, where you could attack other people without fear, and if anyone attacked you back, you could get your older Mod buddies to ban/warn the people you target. Sorry that things are more "fair" now, kevin.

The new Moderation style is very even-handed. Clearly, fairness doesn't work for everyone. 😉

Your posting count has actually increased this year, moreso over the last 4 weeks. I don't believe for one second that you are getting an influx of users asking why you are posting less when anyone can see that you're posting either "the same" or "more."

This entire thread is a farce. You're talking about "leaving" but you aren't actually leaving. You're still here, posting actively today. And you've given yourself until January to leave, LMAO, with the promise of it being only a "short vacation."

Just be honest, kevin. This is a thread where you are saying, "I'm mad that the Mod's don't obey my commands, so I'm going to leave... unless people convince me to stay!"

Thanks for the PM @Nekto2 - I have send you some examples of the current VR forums we are supporting or moderate. And regarding those closed-groups, I would gladly send a invite if you email. 

Just to reiterate, I will be moving on after October, and the implementation of the new forum structure, but will pop-back from time to time to try out the new format and answer questions. Thanks for reaching out.
