I admit defeat. I can't keep up with all the community posts in the Arena community forums anymore. Actually, I would have to say it started at some point during 2010. I just would not admit it until today. I guess this might also mean the.Community has become a pretty successful tool for certain things ArenaChMS!
Anyhow as a result, I'm finally changing my forum's subscriptions -- unsubscribing from about 90% of them. I just need to keep the most essential ones... and I'm lucky I went in there. I also just discovered several new forums for the community developers, namely the Developer Alerts forum. Perhaps that forum will be used to announce when a Arena deprecates a method from their class library API...
