          @Bob-Beatty I can do that. I am slowly on the mend.

              Hoping to get tons done this morning so I can take the afternoon off. I doubt that will happen, but I can dream!

              Ha, I wish.

                Yeah I don't see it happening. I may take "off" from NTG work and just focus on GroveSocial/Mango stuff all afternoon. Things are hopping for me there!

                  Clearly something is changing. Status quo is going to remain, that much is clear.

                    Yea, but I don't think that community is going anywhere - as well as the annual conference. Here is what will happen: They will be sold within 2 years to a giant (HP is my guess) and it will carry on as a free program for a while, until... who knows...

                      I guarantee that won't happen. Large vendors like HP don't have any interest in SMB software nor in online communities. Finding a single, large buyer that isn't an investment group really isn't an option. Finding lots of small investors to buy stock is one thing, finding a single buyer who gets access to the "under the hood details" before a purchase is another.

                        @scottalanmiller I was thinking a giant would buy them and dismantle it - access to 6 million users for marketing, development, etc...

                            Oh, I see.
                            I guess that's a good reason not to have a secret shower room.

                                Thankfully we didn't have to learn that lesson on our own.

                                  Call the local panel beater. I don't think this will buff out.

                                    I don't think it will be sold to HP or anything big.. but it feels more and more like a magazine/newspaper site than anything besides the fact that a lot of it's being more consumerized anyway.

                                      It's a decent software feature wise, but it is one of the most bloated & resource hog of a software I've seen. It's worse than Adobe products.

                                      You might look at service desk but, it is much more of a complicated system http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/

                                        I have a Request Tracker system built and running for our engineering team. That has been working well for that. May look into it for helpdesk usages as well.
