Who is moving the Mac Pro specific Windows / Linux etc threads?

It's usually a small bunch of misfits who get things done.

Oh hi Steve

It's easy to forget it's the users who make your platform

Its not my platform

Y'all should be happy to have such a small but passionate set of users who consider it "our group".

I have no skin in the game, so I'm not happy or unhappy

And if you don't see that, maybe we need to start "our group".

That is a complaint that is often made, basically simiilar to a childhood argument of quitting and taking their toys. You stay, or leave has no bearing on my interaction here at MacRumors

The man ain't asking for much

The man came in hot, complaining about the moderation staff. Yet they were applying the rules evenly and consistently. All too often people complain about inconsistency with the rules, now there's a handful of members who want their own special rules for them and them only.

I think that's just the nature of utilizing other people's resources/forums, they belong to the entity that owns them, who is free to do whatever they like. I'm part of the Mac Pro community here, who only arrived for the Mac Pro threads and posted probably 95% of all content in same. At this point it's kinda... Mac Pro is dead (again), many of the people I used to interact with were suspended or are gone, and it is what it is.

Switched from MP 7,1 to Mac Studio as daily driver a while ago. Just here for random Apple News most of the time, and the community part is kinda gone at this point (from a personal level).

It doesn't make too much sense moving MP specific discussions to another section, but within the big picture, it's kinda a drop in the bucket and doesn't really matter anymore I guess. There are many sources of MP info on the internet, this forum just used to be a central place to exchange info for people who actually owned the hardware in questions.

Having said all that, being polite and expressing why some action doesn't make sense, usually results in a better response than venting, but I get it.

What makes you think that hasn't been tried? If a simple "hey this is wrong please reverse it" got results, why would we have gone to the effort of all this?

I think it’s obvious to anybody that accomplishing tasks related to Windows/Linux installation on a MP is a completely different job than it would be on a MacBook or Mac mini, there’s too many additional variables. You shouldn’t be coerced into posting in a section where the needed expertise is likely not available, when the MP forum is just fine as-is, nobody there is complaining about the existence of the threads, no? Same will apply to the PowerPC/Early Intel forums, should all of those threads that pertain to Windows/Linux be moved as well? No, because there is a different set of challenges that come along with the hardware. Mac Pro is in the same category.
