What is this, to encourage others to jump on the bandwagon?

It's a terrible thing for me ,because there was a very important post for me :cry: :cry: :cry:

A lot of people put a lot of effort into peer to peer support there (as at any forum).
It will be an incredible waste of effort if that resource is lost ... irrespective of anyone's personal feelings about the AUGI management/philosophy past or present.
... that's the real shame.
-
what a waste of a forum.
I'm looking things up on the internet and the searches (yahoo & google) are still pointing toward these old forums. This is really frustrating. I shall be avoiding it like the plague

Yea, I had about 6700 posts over there, 2nd or 3rd most on that particular forum, and I guess it's all history now.
-
Is it standard practice to rely on someone else to take the initiative to create a backup, or is this kinda typical?

ouch! :-o that's a lot of documented expertise to go up in smoke
ps: congrats on the hth (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=35987.0) gig, pretty awesome.

I don't believe this is a backup issue, but rather Augi allowed another entity become owners of the digital data, who retains legal rights to this data. I could understand that issue, but I can't for the life of me understand the forums format change.

I did not catch that part. I had thought it was a matter of the previous host having the only backup and not delivering it for some reason. My main thought was that if AUGI had done their own backups periodically, they could have had a copy of their original data all this time, and reused it, regardless of some silly ownership claims.

The Augi / SolidVapor divorce was quite messy as I understand it. I think SV has used every advantage it has, including maintaining ownership and control of the data, as leverage over Augi in the meantime. Looking back, I guess Augi felt like they wanted to run with the new website at AU, instead of waiting to see if they could negotiate an agreement with SV.
None of that explains dropping vBulletin though.
(BTW: That is all my uninformed opinion - I don't claim to have any inside knowledge of anything, just from what I read or hear... Anyone with hard facts, feel free to correct me. Thanks)

The Swamp is great but focuses mostly on customization and tweaking. AUGI provided a much more user-centric forum for solving day-to-day questions. Collectively we just went from standing on a mountain to standing on a molehill.

> The Swamp is great but ...
Whats this `but' crap? Ive been here since the beginning; how do you think that statement makes me feel?
I don't ever want to see that again.

Au contraire
In my opinion The Swamp takes all users and all questions and gives them equal relevance or irrelevance depending on their nature.
The difference being that one would need to acquire a certain level of expertise, and experience to ever find oneself lost in the swamp.
-

Augi did not provide it, per se, its members did. The knowledge base is fluid, not tied to "augi". If those same people decide to go somewhere else (CADTutor, or the Swamp for example) to share the knowledge, then that becomes the new "user-centric forum for solving day-to-day questions". Just my 2¢
-
Honestly, I used Augi quite a bit too, for different situations than here though. As a result of this, I will probably not be using Augi all that often anymore, as the information is simply no longer there.

What is AUGI? :evil:

I'm not sure what you expected. People who were previously not "swampers" are going to start heading over here unless the old Augi forums are restored very soon. Of course some are going to say I don't like this or that, they just had the rug pulled out from under them and the Swamp is a tad different. They will either get used to it, or go somewhere else - as I suspect many Autodesk Forum people did when they changed to their current format. It will be OK...

theCadVault got taken away from me and i never disrespected anyone. If i can do it you can too.
But to speak seriously for a moment (feelings aside), i feel its more like most of you don't yet understand what you "stumbled" upon here in theSwamp and Mark Thomas. If you give 100% to this place, in one month you will begin to realize what separates this place from the other...garbage.

Mark, MP,
Why should I? We've invested a lot of our time...*sigh* Yeah okay, I should log off for a while. I dont like posting angry.
I'll leave this though:
This forum is full of people. People who think. Ive seen many descriptions of theSwamp like: "the knowledge level is above other sites" or "theswamp is full of experts", or whatever; NO theSwamp has people who THINK! We think about what we say and do before we do it. Other sites are full of people who just do an wonder why later.

Yes, there is an emphasis on programing and customizations here in TheSwamp, but I would stop short of saying most of the focus here is in those areas. I personally don't know squat about the most simple of lisp routines and can only offer to help debug any customization by using it rather than examine any code for flaws yet there is a wealth of information on these boards that can help users of any level understand the basic program and there are even a few bits of information I could contribute. TheSwamp is the collective knowledge of everything ALL of its membership has offered to share over the years from OOTB start up questions through intricate customizations and including some truly amazing programing solutions.
-
I became a swamper because I saw it as an opportunity to learn more about customizing my AutoCAD, I kind of blame Alan (CAB) for winning me over. I only had 2600 posts at AUGI, I think most of it was in the LISP forum asking questions. I'm trying to pick up on VLISP more, and I do seem to get quite a bit of help here, although I dont feel as though I have as much information to share. (a lot of the questions seem to be more advanced than I am)

thinking to self .... what if we moved the CAD forum above the programming forums .... LOL
-
Well, looks like some clarification of my statement is required... guess thats what I get for spending the morning working.
Yes, its about the posters.
When I had questions about customization, hardware, or very technical issues I came here. When I had questions about verticals, AutoDesk-related programs, or day-to-day operations I went to AUGI - thats where the answers were. There is very little here regarding licensing, Navisworks, CUI organization, and the generic CAD area is quite a bit smaller than the old AUGI. If the Swamp builds up sections for those with better answers than I can get anywhere else yeah I'll be getting them here.
Ain't nothing simpler than makin' timbits - I used to do the donut frying in a bakery.
-

Us old dogs had better stay alert ... Mark is thinking about moving the food dish again.
Ironically, this very forum format we are enjoying today is a direct result of feedback from a group of Cad Vault refugees following an infamous late night on line meltdown. Everyone was searching for a "new normal" and trying to ride out the choppy waters resulting from the sudden influx of new members and there was a suggestion made that Mark to look at SMF forum format as an alternate to what was in use at that time.
Welcome any new members who find themselves here in the wake of the problems at augi.

7, don't be angry. No need to take seriously for someone who didn't worth it.
-
I know I have learn more about general Cad by programming, there is a wealth of knowledge about general Cad in the programming fourms here.
I am to dumb for lisp but still read this fourm because I still learn things about certain system variables causing a program to fail, etc.....
I tend to use AUGI when I have a question on how to screw a pootch.

I really do feel bad that all that info was lost
Neither the data nor the forum structure were "lost". It has nothing to do with the forum admins or not backing up, etc. The owner of said data simply chose to protect his rights and IP and removed it from being accessed by Augi and/or its members due to various reasons. What should be criticized here is the decision(s) made long ago that allowed this data to be removed from Augi's control.
EDIT: This link explains the situation better than I did above:

Nope. AUGI never was (It was always going to fail). The fact that the database wasn't deleted, lost, whatever was never the concern or issue. Who cares what happened to it; what does it matter if it were locked away in the Smithsonian or deleted...the end result is the same.

Have you ever worked with someone just incompetent enough to make working with them misserable, but they weren't so incompetent that there wasn't enough reason to terminate their employment? Can't demote them for same reason you can't fire them, but to get them out of harm's way, the only option left is to promote them.
My own version of a common phrase is: "Those who can't do, run for office." :|

Before going to any "augi" page, open your browser options and DELETE all cookies that have anything to do with "augi". This is easy in FF since you can just search for "augi". Can't speak for Chrome, Safari, and IE.
I was able to get back with no problems after doing this, except that many usernames are hosed up...

yeah, I had to tell them I forgot my password, then enter the new password they sent me, then change my password back, and all is fine now. I see RK's name got switched around, did you ask to have it changed back yet?

Too late DinØ, we had a discussion while I was at AU. I guess it was too hard to ignore me in person.
The issue has been resolved and the BAN that was initiated by the folks most closely aligned to SolidVapor has been lifted.
I'm sure there are some there whom are not exactly doing backflips over the decision.
However I did learn a very important lesson about the Board of Directors, and politics. Mostly that the truth and politics do not go together at all. Second that patience does pay off if one is patient long enough.
The other thing is that irrespective of what happened; I really shouldn't say "I told you so"; even though I knew that the relationship they had established with SolidVapor behind the backs of membership was a BAD IDEA. It was bad for members, bad for the organization. The good news is that bad relationship ended badly, and perhaps the current and future members of the augi board wont make the same mistake.

YaYaPei can be used when people angers, of course.
It may also have some degree of humor when people is talking each other, especially when telling a story.

Too late DinØ, ~~~
Too late for them I guess ... I am not sure by now if my account would open even if I COULD remember the name and password. I couldn't even get them to send a reminder to me because I think the email went out of use about 5 years ago.
That's OK do what everyone else does; just start a new one. Their membership metric is so skewed that IF their advertisers really knew the numbers they would be lined up around the block for their refund!

I'm able to login, but only immediate after I purge my cookies.
The next time I go to AUGI's site, I have to purge my cookies again in order to login again. (The option for "Keep me logged in" appears to do nothing.)
I'm tired of purging my cookies. :-P

I imagine some people will forget the troubles they've had with Augi and start flooding back shortly.
off topic sort of :

You're assuming they base their number on membership.
I'm pretty sure they only care about traffic and visitors.
-
I do not visit there but a couple times a week.
Has the traffic slowed down since the change it seems not many new post when I stop by there?
-
Posting is down overall, but they have been having a number of technical issues over the past few weeks so its a little lower than that lately.

I wouldn't ask them that, as I'm sure they would say that it hasn't.
From my own perspective and others; who's opinions they did not heed, the way they chopped everything up into nearly every thing being it's own separate forum sure doesn't make for easy navigation.

You know they re-instated the previous structure, right?

I looked about two-three weeks back and it was still all diced up into way too many categories.
Are you suggesting that if I looked today there wouldn't be 12 dozen sub headings for Civil 3D users to navigate through?

I just found this thread today.
I didn't even know that Harrie had quoted me (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=36016.msg411537#msg411537) over this whole ordeal (back then)... I was pretty pi$$ed off about it for sure.
I started participating in CAD forums at AUGI, I didn't know any better back then. It was a significant investment for me, as I know it has been for many others here. In my limited experience, I've found that each forum (TheSwamp, CADTutor, AUGI, etc.) DOES serve a different audience, even though many members are the same, it's the skill level, or genre of the questions being asked that varies from place to place.
That incident showed me that I shouldn't post anything I'm not prepared to loose (admittedly, that was a lesson I didn't know prior).
While I am still an active member of CAD forums (primarily at CADTutor, and TheSwamp), I do check in from time to time over at AUGI. I typically come here when I need help, and to CADTutor to help others (to the best of my ability). I still help out where I can no matter what, but it's rare that I am able to help the members here, aside from contributing fodder for the chat threads. LoL
I very much appreciate TheSwamp, and the members that make up this community - it's like one big family - you can always find someone who will show you how to fix something you can't figure out, laugh about the mistakes you made, and you better believe that you'll be called out if you 'cross the line'.
The truth is that TheSwamp's one of a kind; the kind of place I like to be.
Cheers! :beer:

Given your comment, you may or may not be looking at a cached version of the partial upgrade. The Civil 3D section looks reasonable to me, but its much more complicated than most of the others so I find the sub-divisions are helpful over throwing everything together. To each their own, I guess.
-
Nope still all chopped up...
All the division simply creates more work both for users trying to decide where to place the question, and the moderators trying to keep them all sorted.
I don't know we seem to get the C3D questions answered here without all the rails and bumpers. :-P
Hey it's just an opinion, and if they don;t care about usability; it certainly not my job to help them change it.
