hoberion: Doug said that he would not be developing WebGuide any more when he announced the news. Contact software developers get real jobs generally takes away their free time for their side businesses.

Nothing will change in your ability to post about anything, and I will still be a moderator keeping spam and flaming out of the forums. Feel free to post about DVD ripping, Microsoft's inability to make a good product, etc, etc. I will.

Where is the new site where we can discuss Media Center and alternatives out from under Microsoft's thumb?

Well I just hope it is for the best. This also makes me think that Microsoft did not forget about Media Center.

i hope this doesn't mean that posts concerning "hacking" the OS, such as permitting 2 users to be actively signed on at the same time, and such..

If nothing else, this is a good sign of continued commitment of Microsoft to Media Center. I still think its absurd how little they advertise its existence; I'm sure many can attest to "wow, I didn't know you could do that" moments when demonstrating Media Center to friends and family.
