Comments on: The Need for a MediaTemple User Forum

I've suggested a forum/wiki to mediatemple before. the knowledgebase is getting better over time, but it still pales in comparison to an active wiki or forum. I've been using several (dv)s for a couple years and I'd be happy to share what I've learned with others, since I had to pretty much figure everything out and build solutions from scratch, and I'm sure others are facing the same issues that I have. that said, I don't want to be part of a locked-in EULA'd "community" if its just trying to keep out people that on one hand might be helpful, but might also be critical of mediatemple. with that, any news on the user forum?

Hey everyone, I'm about to start pulling my hair out due to some issues I'm having with my DV. A MT forum would be *completely* awesome. Any progress on this idea lately?

At last?

Significant things normally take a long time to produce... is this going to be the case for (mt) or will we be able to see something soon?

Hey guys,

Although this is quite an old post I'd like to communicate here that we are paying attention to your suggestions and feedback. I don't wanna spill the beans but something significant is in the works to better facilitate our growing community.

Any luck with the (mt) community??

If you guys don't already have one and don't plan on making one then I'll probably go ahead and put one on the web.

We really need a community pronto.

I'd be willing to set up a simple phpBB or similar forum, if you still have the MediaAltar.com domain and have somewhere to host it. That might be a bit easier to shuffle around later than a Yahoo! or Google group.

Any plans to make this happen? To start off we could always start out with a Yahoo or Google group and then move on to something more robust if necessary.

They're taking so long, I think we should do something on our own. Yeah. Give me a day or two to think about it. A Google Group is the most likely candidate right now.

I've just moved to a (dv) server on MediaTemple and am having similar problems trying to figure out how to customize simple things (like SpamAssassin and SSH access).

If you're following up on this, I'd suggest not just a forum, but a wiki, too, where registered users could make their own KB. DreamHost has a user support wiki, and it's quite an excellent resource.
