said by Smalldog :Around this time last week, the venerable forums at MacFixit.com went read-only as they were integrated into the forums at cnet.com. MacFixit moderators and nearly all of the most prolific contributors moved to their new home at » www.finetunedmac.com/forums/ instead of moving to cnet.com, so the online troubleshooting community can continue to thrive. FineTunedMac is wholly supported by contributions from the moderators and the generosity of a few very dedicated contributors. I’m happy the community will live on as the old forums merge with the sprawling cnet.com, and the technical services team at Small Dog will continue to use and contribute to the effort.
