Why can't users talk about it there, and take action here. Too much discussion about it, and as i've said before time and time again, I would still just remove it if it was my choice.
Promotion should be more directed on in-site events/awards/issues, etc... That's when you start moving ahead in a positive direction for a forum. This seems too much like an excuse forum to get another award on SF, with all the discussion about HF users doing this and doing that here, and how the Support Feather is so bad, and all this other commotion. That in itself doesn't raise the idea or atmosphere of support when we always have to question each other between members that battle sides from HF to SF, when in reality I see no reason as to why they should be related, being 2 entirely different surrounding communities with opposite spec rums of rules.
I came back here to see how all this was doing, but it still hasn't changed, so I gave up on trying to argue on this topic anymore, i'll stick to the discussions and portion of the community for what this forum was really meant to be about.
I agree that the best thing for Support Forums' development would be to completely segregate from Hack Forums. Too often do we have people here crying about how HF is down, or spamming their way to 100 posts having absolutely no regard for this community.
HF has brought one good thing to the site. A bit of activity. Unfortunately, it's brought a heap of crap with it as well. I say we look to build our activity having no relationship with Hack Forums any more. The quality contributions coming from HF really aren't worth the spam we have to put up with anymore.
