Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"
Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?
I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Tony,
Yes. I saw the same popup. A bit unsettling.
I got that warning too, I sent a nice message through that email form. I hope John is ok.
I hope he's fine too. But if he wants his business to thrive, he really needs to engage with the users, more. Owners can't just take off for three months and expecty things to run smoothly.
Is his support guy still around, -I haven't checked?
This product has huge potential, but if no one is actively developing new features or improving old one, all his customers are just going to wonder off and use someone else product. Some, have already wondered off.
Been hoping for a verion 6, but have heard nothing. And yes, I too got the message that this forum is at risk.
To John I have no idea what you are going through. However the impact you have made not to continue with the user forum and your desire keep it as a permanent feature as promised in the past is a big shock. It also betrays the faith and love we have shown in you and Studio Artist. Bluntly spoken, it sucks. That you have chosen to follow this direction in silence, allowing no compassion or understanding on our part is a betrayal of the deepest level. What is going on? This is not the John Dalton I have known all these years.I regret writing such an angry response. However you have gone too long and too far on your path of silence. I wish you well and hope u and your family are or will be in good health.
Sadly, it does appear the SA Ning site here is sunsetting.
Many, MANY thanks for all the SA users here who have inspired and edified and contributed cool things.
Thanks too (once again) to John and his crew for many years developing great software and a great community.
Mostly for me, SA has been FUN sotware. One of a very few applications that actually was fun to use and fun to play with. If the Ning site is going away - all hope that SA is not also.
This is not a good sign...
