I don't know. Maybe.
But what is easier after three months?
Categorize each thread and move it into the just created apropriate subforum, in the hopless effort to tidy up the mess, or just batch move all threads out of their subforums, and then delete resulting empty subforums?
Which work will you choose, if you have to do one of these?
Unfortunately, nobody with admin permissions knows anything about ASP, one day it appeared in the forums, that was it.
We are trying to cover best we can.

Thanks for your response Graham. Perhaps you could ask Jeff's opinion and then report back to the forum. I think many people believe one forum would be shambolic but we do not need to go to the level of breakdown that Bibble did.
Thanks for your interest and help

Actually I believe the admins here on this Corel forum had to create the ASP subforum. They know about it.
I'll see if I can find one, but as far as I know there aren't any active user admins who knew about it, Corel staff added it to the forum and they don't actively admin it.

That would explain a great deal, no wonder there was a "what the *$(*&%" feel to it
Everyone on the Bibble forum thought it was all official etc, but you guys had even less info than we did - and that wasn't a great deal either.
old Bibble user
Hmm is that (old) Bibble user or (old Bibble) user?
A flat forum structure is fine for forums with limited traffic. There is more traffic generated at the old Bibble forum than one can easily peruse in a flat structure. I personally think that maybe there were too many sub forums at support.bibble.com. I'd like to see it somewhere in the middle.

If you go to the index for this board -- http://forum.corel.com/EN/index.php -- you'll see there's no moderator listed for the ASP forum. Perhaps one of the reasons there's no moderator is because of the secrecy surrounding both the Corel purchase of Bibble Labs and the announcement of AfterShot Pro at CES. I can find no record of reporting the sale of Bibble Labs by the Austin American-Statesman nor the Austin Business Journal, and Bibble Labs in located in Austin, Texas.
Maybe Corel thought planning for an ASP forum and selecting a moderator in advance would result in a leak of the information. Or, perhaps, Corel just forgot about the User to User Web Board.

I have stated somewhere else that I see the need for two sub-forums, ASP and ASP plugins. After doing some thinking, I think there a few other that I would like to see as well. "Show off" and "Bugs and omissions".
Now, there is a "Member's Samples thread, and I guess we can use that one, but it seems more like a video thread. Maybe rename that thread to "Member's Video Show off!" and create Member's Photo Show Off"?
More unsure about the "Bugs and omission"; there is a bug registration form for Corel Products. And if Corel's employees aren't much here, what's the point.
I see there is a dedicated "Forum Chat" sub-forum. That's nice.
