Important change in X-Cart forums: welcome the new mod

ambal · #1 12-20-2010, 03:14 AM

Hi Everyone!

I want to inform you about a very important change in X-Cart forums.

The change is related to development of the new X-Cart&LiteCommerce platform and is a part of our developments in 2011, actually.

We are going to pay much more attention to X-Cart forum than we did. This means we dedicate one of our team members to become the only X-Cart forum moderator. User qualiteam, a member of our staff, is responsible for helping X-Cart forum members, maintaining threads structure/signatures/i.e. forum rules in order since this very moment.

Balinor, Carpeperdiem, PaulDodman and Shan won't be X-Cart forum moderators any more, but despite of that they are still important forum members and they are welcome to contribute on the forum. I contacted them a week ago to inform them about the change in advance.

I want to thank them personally and on behalf of X-Cart team for everything they did for X-Cart community and for X-Cart. Without your support X-Cart wouldn't become what it is now (despite of everything all of us have done and not done).

User "Qualiteam" (Alex Soloviev) is now the X-Cart forum moderator. Don't forget to press "Thank you" button each time he helps you

Thank you,
Alex

Glad that someone from X-Cart is listening to the forum too. Hope this will give more things sorted out.

Good to hear that finally QT will monitor the forum. Let's hope that Alex will not only help and enforce forum rules but also pass to QT all pros and cons post in here so they are taken care of better and faster.

Fingers crossed on the new direction - sad to see that the old moderators are being removed. It will be interesting to see how ONE person (who has limited time in the forum) will do replacing 4 veterns of the forum for support. In fact the name "Soloviev" only shows on ONE result - this thread - Has Alex been active in the forum before?

"Qualiteam" is a new account, but it has these stats to the moment:

http://forum.x-cart.com/member.php?u=24083
Total Posts: 30 (2.17 posts per day)
Thanked 7 Times in 4 Posts

Alex is going to do more every day

I agree! Nearly 30,000 posts by balinor (as of now...almost all of them helping users who need help) has been invaluable. I don't think I would have become an XC customer without some of those posts on this forum. Actually I hope you compensated him. He deserves it.

QT can be appreciative yes. I hope even though not moderators these guys will continue their support in here, helps a lot, thank you to all of them

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
