Is the newsgroup going to be turned off?

autodeskguest

I see that Element14 is testing direct access to EagleCentral. The only

reason I can see for that is that Element 14 intend to close down the

Cadsoft news reader service.

 

Can any one from Cadsoft confirm that?

 

Regards

Warren

    Hi Warren,

     

    I'm not aware of anything of that nature going on. With that said, maybe

    they've decided that it's best to mirror to an HTTP site then to the

    newsgroup directly. In any case we've all mentioned that EAGLE Central's

    interface to NNTP is superior so maybe they are trying to leverage that.

     

    At this point you know as much as I do.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    So let me get this straight:  Element 14, powered and funded by a

    multi-national corporation with a whole IT department at its disposal can't

    figure out how to mirror NNTP groups.  So they decide instead to scrape the

    messages from EAGLE Central.  EAGLE Central itself is run by one person

    (me), part time, with not a lot of IT expertise and it has run reliably for

    many, many years.  That is really ironic.

     

    If this is what Element 14 is doing then it's the wrong way about it.  They

    should be dealing with the official NNTP forum just like I'm doing at EAGLE

    Central.  Doing anything else is just asking for problems.

     

    To be clear about this, EAGLE Central is mirroring the NNTP forums because

    the NNTP forums ARE the official forums.  We felt, in 2009, that perhaps

    there was a more universal way to interact with the support forums and

    added the web interface.  We obtained permission from CadSoft directly and

    intentionally mirrored the NNTP forums so the community would be kept

    together (unlike other attempts of Yahoo groups etc).

     

    I like that people thing we do such a good job that we must be the official

    forums, but that isn't true.

    Hi James,

    thanks for straighten things up.

    I can remember that EAGLE Central took just a couple of days to

    establish a WORKING link with the Cadsoft NNTP.

    Element 14 (Farnell) is now a couple of YEARS more or less busy to get a

    working link done image

    So far  it is just crap imho.

    I always wanted to give a comment like:

    "Ask EAGLE central how to do it", but didn't wanted to be impolite.

    I do remember the very large discussion for eagle becoming a newsgroup

    or stay NNTP.

    So, with  EAGLE Central we have both image
