We're moving on
TechTarget told me yesterday that they do not want to support the community or the site any longer. What does this mean to you? HOLD ON -- this should be interesting! Bigger and better things are coming, but myITforum.com is NOT going away!
I want to thank TechTarget for giving us a home this last year or so. I look at it as a transitional period, after Altiris decided to relinquish its management of the community. Stay tuned.
Due to the state of flux with myITforum.com...
Due to the state of flux with myITforum.com, there will be no newsletter delivery after June 30th. It will start up again after things are finalized for our new home.
Someone asked today...
From Rod Trent's Web blog: Someone asked today what my drive is for the community. They asked why I still sit here and help people get jobs, personally help folks with questions and problems, and why I just don't go work for some huge corporation.
It's because of all of you, frankly. This community is the best community in the world -- and I truly believe that. If I jumped-ship and went to one of those huge corporations, I'd lose a lot of friendships that I've garnered over the years, and the friendships of those I don't even know yet. But, I'd also lose the ability to help folks out, which is why I am so dedicated to this community.
It's funny. I've never thought twice about moving on. Sure, there have been offers (some of which were almost too good to pass up), but, this life is so much more rewarding.
