Is filePro Active?

[Dennis Malen]

In any event, I hope you don't shut it down.

Lol, I did not get the OP ...

The list activity has been dropping over the years, there were a few "retirements" announced and if three companies sold/closed (or no longer using fp), that could very well be 3x factor in turns of number of participants.

Let us be honest, if you go back 10 years, you still won't see a vast volume of postings from a spread-out user base, it is always the same 4 to 5 posters.

>From memory, most frequent posters were:

  *
John Essak
  *
Larry White and a 2nd White I cannot recall his first name - 'from Aljex?' ( both of them, mostly responding)
  *
Team from Anzio "Tom?" (mostly responding)
  *
Mark (mostly responding or letting you know where and how you were clueless and why your question deserved no mind nor an answer ... hahaha )
  *
Joel Chasan (spelling) from NY
  *
>From Texas I forget his name but I think he retired last year ...
  *
Myself but I have not regularly posted questions in years, I have a couple of fp customers but it is mostly maintenance; the bulk of my work is PHP, .NET MAUI, DART/Flutter, Azure, AWS, PowerApps and now Python/Gen-AI as an effort to keep up with the times.

I am sure I am leaving two or three names out, but an entire list will not reach a dozen, not that I can think of.

I have not even seen the fpTech newsletter or any info coming via the list from fpTech.

Regards,

Hello,

Anything going on with the filePro list.

The last time I remember there being activity was 2023. Is it still working?

Greg
