I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see a day when it would be necessary to abandon our old domain.
For whatever the reason things are not getting better and Poly has ignored all plea's to resolve or allow someone else to resolve the technical issues.AutoHotkey is a powerful brand and reputation. No one wants to take away from or change it. However, we have to do something fast. I registered auto-hotkey.com as a temporary place to give us some where to communicate about the problem without Poly maliciously deleting the conversation as he has done recently. I don't know his motivations. What I do know is within hours of me inviting the participants of that conversation to this forum. Many of you started asking for the entire forum structure and you flooded over. An overwhelming and supportive response. I have taken steps to ensure that no one persons absence can create a situation where a technical issue thus divides the community ever again. We are scrambling to get this site fully operational. I have great help. Nearly every Admin has come over and more than half of them have full forum administrative powers. As I expected they are listening and reacting to your needs. A few of those have FTP access to the server. Thank goodness because in one of our rapid updates I broke the log in today and left to run an errand. Within minutes of the report in IRC the problem was fixed all without me ever even getting a chance to look into it. Open Source WORKS!!!. I cannot promise there wont ever be technical issues. but I do promise to keep several able persons with access to fix them. After years of growth AutoHotkey is a known recognized brand and is finally seeing the light of day in the corporate world. There are few but a growing number of professional scripting jobs emerging. We must not loose that momentum. The choice of a new permanent domain is critical. how can we still be AutoHotkey but at a different domain that doesn't confuse the Google searchers and the old timers alike? What domain clearly says we are still AutoHotkey just not part of autohotkey.com. After much debate I am listing the top 2 for a public vote. I WILL GO WITH THE WINNER. This is after all OUR Community. We are its FOUNDATION and we can never let someone threaten it again.
When I purchase the new domain i will setup a redirect so that no one has to change a shortcut or bookmark.
LONG LIVE AHK
VIVA la REVOLUTION
