Yea, but I don't think that community is going anywhere - as well as the annual conference. Here is what will happen: They will be sold within 2 years to a giant (HP is my guess) and it will carry on as a free program for a while, until... who knows...
I don't think it will be sold to HP or anything big.. but it feels more and more like a magazine/newspaper site than anything besides the fact that a lot of it's being more consumerized anyway.

Looks like I need to start looking into new helpdesk software...
It's a decent software feature wise, but it is one of the most bloated & resource hog of a software I've seen. It's worse than Adobe products.
You might look at service desk but, it is much more of a complicated system http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/

I have a Request Tracker system built and running for our engineering team. That has been working well for that. May look into it for helpdesk usages as well.

Reading one odd question: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/826293-do-smbs-prefer-turnkey-solutions-or-custom-solutions?page=1
-
@thecreativeone91 that is rather odd. Definitely someone who doesn't understand how IT works and is very confused.

Playing with ManageEngine... really nice piece of software so far.

Just the help desk piece right now. It is hosted, so I may have to move it onsite if the hosted option isn't free at the end of the month trial.

Right now? I am anxiously awaiting 6pm. I'm over this week.

Oh okay, I thought that you were talking about their management pieces. Yes, I like their helpdesk too, especially when hosted.

There Rouge Device detection and Switch management/config backup is great as well. But they changed their site so much I can't find anything since it's not by the old package names anymore.

Traffic shot up by about 80% at around 9am Eastern this morning. I wonder what could be doing that.

Interesting, I will have to look into it a bit more... I have to restart our current helpdesk at least once a day to fix email fetching... just haven't had time to really troubleshoot it.

ME has been pretty decent. I'm actually looking to move it to a C@C install once I figure out a few things. at least maybe.

Why not use it hosted? It's free.

And traffic just doubled.... again!

That sucks, hope that they are feeling better soon.
