What will happen to the old message boards?
We will keep the discussion-oriented boards open such as the Lounge, but all of the older technical question and answer forums will be closed. We have done our best to move the good contentin these forum into the system.

What are you using as a trigger to decide if something should be brought over or not?

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

We looked for posts that were questions, which had answers, and where the question and the answer were both voted highly.

We initially tried to use the 'mark as answered' field on each post but this was so sporadically used that it was useless.

There will certainly be some duds in the content moved over, but they are only meant to be seed content, and the duds can be down voted easily.
