Appleseed Discussion Forums Dead?

[imacken]

I tried to access the Appleseed forums using the usual link appleseed.apple.com, but that just redirects to a kind of generic thing that when logged in, doesn't show any forums that I can see.
Are the old Appleseed discussion forums dead?

Does no one know the answer to this here?

I have no recollection of forums at that site, though I’ve only been to it sporadically over the last decade or so.

You might be thinking of https://developer.apple.com/forums/ or https://discussions.apple.com/

There's something out there called Project Appleseed that has nothing to do with computers. The site your link takes me to* is also listed, on page three, on my search for "appleseed forums". And yes. Project Appleseed has a forum. I was hoping to find an article or announcement about Apple's appleseed forum being closed down, but that didn't come up. I was never aware of it.

*beta.apple.com

Thanks guys, but no these links are not what I’m thinking of. Appleseed is an invitation only Apple beta program that has a set of forums. I used it for years, but haven’t accessed it for some time. The links I used just redirect to Apple beta site.

Once Apple opened up dev betas to pretty much anyone, there was no longer any need for it.

This site provides the best beta discussion forums imo.
