Muses on current forum activity

[Kevin Mikelonis]

I have noticed a significant increase in posting activity among veteran D-Tools Users on this forum in the past 60 days.

At the same time, I am not seeing many new users posting on this forum, in-fact the D-Tools Implementation, Training, and Plug-in portion of our business is virtually dead (and has been since December 2008) while at the same time or engineering services are up, and our lighting control services are way, way, way up.

The veterans are posting really great suggestions and questions regarding features that are not new, which makes me think that perhaps with new business activity being down or flat from previous years for most all veterans users, that more time is being spent on perfroming better documentation of projects in D-Tools and therefore more thorough usage of D-Tools by our veteran users is prompting the increase in suggestions and questions.

So, what say you forum members out there?

Any ideas, am I way off base, on target, seeing things, hearing things, dreaming?

Can I get a witness.

I would have to say there are several reasons including, but not limited to increased business and the release of SI5.5, at least for us. Even though we have SA, I waited a long time to switch to SI5 because of all the problems. SI5.5 is much more efficient (IMHO), so I feel like I can use D-Tools for smaller project than before. I've also had more time to play with SI5.5 and explore it in more depth.
