Dear Antonio,
"Why did I make this post?
When we started with mod harbour, we faced the issue that we couldn't help each other much here, and we couldn't further the spread of mod harbour.
Back then, I contacted the forum owner of codeforum.com, which seemed to me like a good forum for HTML and JavaScript, hoping we could get a section there to support one another. HTML/JavaScript developers who need something good at the backend and, conversely, we from the Clipper side for the frontend.
Unfortunately, back then, there was no interest from either our side or from the codeforum side.
A few days ago, I revisited this forum.
But from today's perspective, this forum is no longer of interest. You don't recognize anyone, and you can't engage in conversations.
For general questions, an AI can answer just as well and faster.
I see it as disruptive for forums - I see the "Phone Book Effect". Who uses phone books anymore?"
We urge all developers to actively engage in discussions, be open to diverse opinions, and value the contributions of their peers.
I am not aware of such a collegial, friendly, and good forum as ours in the entire internet.
In the future, if the forum is to survive, we must adapt to the new situation and engage more in creative discussions.
Certainly, we have a problem here, especially with Harbour, where some only see the time until retirement.
I can't remember if I've posted this picture before.
But it speaks for itself: Google translator canceled from my list, deepl canceled. Actually, an unthinkable thought 2-3 months ago.
Now all done by ChatGPT.
In the end, what remains is the interpersonal and the friendship - I actually just wanted to say that.
With warm regards,
Otto
