Why has this forum been taken over?

[shep2112]

Just wondering, this is the HTC Sable forum, yet it's been taken over by unrelated phone posts.. TONS of them.. :(

I come here from time to time looking for info for my iPAQ 6945, and every visit, there's more and more off-topic stuff here, and it makes it harder and harder to find Sable-related posts.. Why is this? :confused:

Beacuse both 91x and 61x owners are here :)

e.g. I have bricked my 914c while flashing with a 614c ROM :) My mistake...but think about it...

[keyx]

well once upon time when 61x/91x is out people thought it is also manufactored by HTC so they start dicussing it here. Eventually people figured out it is not made by HTC but there are already several threads about the tools and roms for them so the trend just continue. At some point there is also post in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum but gradually people just post here as it is easier to find info about 61x/91x here.

So not much can be done..there are several options:
1. keep it here
2. move all 61x/91x post to "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking"
3. move to other site

given we have 4+1 roms here, move will only work if all rom chef agree on that..

I see.. Well it's certainly confusing for anyone not keeping up on that detail. :)

Thanks for your replies..It's had me wondering for a while..

Hey Shep/Eric,

Sorry for the 61x/91x busy-ness going on here! But please don't move us, we'd have no where else to go. Well, maybe there'd be other places to go, but xda is my favourite! I used to have two HTC devices, but was scared about making the move to an Ipaq because I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to drop custom roms on my phone ever again. But when I found out xda had this sub-forum for "Sable" devices, I was overjoyed, and continue to be now that keyes, benjaminries, montecristo, and anyone else I missed, have continued to provide awesome support for our devices!

How about we all just consider ourselves part of the Sable family, with the 61x and 91x devices considered Sable offspring? :D xda is hands down the best forum in the world for our devices!

Honestly, there is very little anything these days about the older iPaqs. This forum would be pretty dead if it didn't become used for the newer HP models ;).

The bottom line is while clearly the 61xc and the 91xc phones aren't htc phones nor Sables, I don't see that any harm is being done by discussing them here ;).

What about me? I think there's no one expert ROM care or enable to make WM OS ROM Upgrade for my device hp iPAQ h6365/h63xx abandon in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826 Poor of my device ... !

I hear you, it just seems weird there's no dedicated forum (here on xda-developers, I'm not saying leave the site, sheesh! :eek:)

I've had my 6945 for 2 years I think. I still like it, but I wish there was a ROM update for it. That's one of the main reasons I check here from time to time. What exactly is needed for a WM6/6.1/6.5 ROM for us? I keep seeing stuff about 'we need a full rom', etc. Certainly this could be had by now, with all the other WM6.x phones on the market, no?

I'll start a new thread with my current problem though, no one will be looking here for it. :)

Yeah, we're always hope to not being alone in this forum, including me! ;)

[sabertooth]

we're very grateful that xda-developers have been extremely kind.

xda-dev have been so helpful in every way not just to xda/htc users but TO ALL Pocket PC users of all brands!

This site is such an asset to Microsoft and to the Pocket PC world, that the contributors here should be rewarded/donated by these companies in the millions of dollars, I think! Because so many of the faults and problems created by them (unintentionally of course) have been so generously repaired, fixed, mended etc by the selfless contributors here.

Hope you can extend this generosity to us other users with not enough numbers to start a meaningful site such us the ipaq users.

thank you so much.

We al saw it coming, at first I was pissed, but when you really think about it, There is no helpfor Sable / Beetles users. Although this thread is overrun by newer hp models, In all actuality, what harm is this doing to the Sables Owners.
