In the last month of its existence about 130 new topics were created on the<br>
forum. It appears that during the same period about 54 new topics tagged<br>
'QGIS' were created on Stack Exchange (SE) GIS. It is of course obvious that<br>
there has been an increase in QGIS questions on SE following the closure of<br>
the forum, but I think it is unlikely that all, or possibly even most, of<br>
the people who used to post on the forum have shifted to SE. However, for<br>
obvious reasons there can be no firm evidence to support this proposition;<br>
usage statistics are not enough.<br>
<br>
I wish it well and I'm sure that QGIS at SE will suit many of the more<br>
experienced QGIS users very nicely, but I'm also sure it will also put off<br>
many newcomers and less experienced users who need a friendly place of first<br>
contact where they can ask their questions. But that's enough, I seem to be<br>
a lone voice in this discussion so I won't push things any further.<br>
