When this forum was created more than 10 years ago, there wasn't much Lightroom information available, Lightroom experts were few and far between, and the official Adobe forums were virtually unusable.
Times have changed though. The world now revolves around social media and instant answers. There's a vast amount of how-to information available on the web. Adobe's help forums and bug report forums are now an excellent source of information and fast support, and their automated search means most people find the information they need without even having to post.
Lightroom's continued success means I'm busier than ever, and being pulled in too many different directions. I'm sure that's true of our other Guru's too. It's time to reassess how I can offer the most help in the Lightroom community, as it continues to grow and develop over the next 10 years.
The atmosphere and style of help we've cultivated here is something I'm very proud of, but I've come to realise that it's due to the way WE treat people, rather than the website we're using.Therefore, after consulting with Lightroom's managers and others, I've come to the decision that it's time to close this forum. By consolidating our efforts on the official Adobe forums, we can continue to offer Lightroom users the best support possible.
We've built a wonderful community here over the last 10 years, and as I refocus my efforts in the support of the Lightroom World, I hope you'll all continue to join me on the Lightroom Queen blog, on Twitter and Facebook, and our entire team of Guru's on Adobe's help forums and bug report forums.
EDIT - you guys are coming up with some pretty compelling arguments, so I'm looking at options... hold that thought (and feel free to continue convincing me that the forum should stay open!!)
EDIT 23 February - WE'RE STAYING OPEN!!!! Read all about it here[COLOR]
