I, for one, am excited to see Qualiteam finally begin to take an active role in this forum. Perhaps they will get a better feel for how we are using their software, how to better improve on it, and just be more in touch with their user base. It is very easy to see what people love, and hate, about X-Cart by simply looking at the number and types of posts that happen on a daily basis. Looking at the completed custom mods forum for example, they can easily tell what features are needed, and try to add them to the cart. The third party developers have been doing exactly that for years.
I just hope the new moderator realizes how much work it takes to keep this forum running smoothly. Yes, I have put a lot of time into this place over the years, on average about 10 hours a week. I did it not for monetary gain (although the gift certificate was nice) but to have a better feel for the software, how people are using it, what improvements I could make to my clients' carts, and just because I enjoy helping people when I can. I remember how difficult it was to learn this software when I first started! I'm sure the new mod will do the same.
While I will still contribute when I can, this comes at a good time as I will now be developing the majority of my sites on a different cart platform. I'll be keeping tabs on the place for sure, and still checking in for tweaks to the X-Cart sites we maintain, but most of my energy is now going to go into the new cart.
It has been a pleasure working with all of your over the past 7 years, I wish you all the best of luck.
See you around
