Just curious, but who are the "actual MySpace employees" who are on these forums? Are there any? Is anybody responsible for answering questions, interacting with developers, clarifying issues, etc? I ask, mainly because I honestly can't figure it out. Rondata has been around for awhile, obviously, but she is only one person; it is impossible to get timely responses to anything, around here. I know it is an ongoing complaint that others have addressed, in the past, but it almost seems like we are wasting our time participating in these forums.
I am a member / moderator of several other forums in several different industries, and I know how hard it can be to try and start, then SUSTAIN an active user base on any forum; thus far, in the several months I have been around here, I am not finding much reason to continue to come back here. Typically, where the moderation team is lacking, the community often picks up the torch and help each other. However, due to the proprietary nature of this platform, as well as the relative newness of it all, there is only so much help that we can offer each other; we rely on the MySpace Dev Team to help us out when we get stuck.
It is entirely possible that I am missing the point of these forums; perhaps they are not "support" forums, after all? If that is the case, can someone please direct me to an e-mail address, phone number or physical address, where I can find some live people (who are actually involved in the rule making, who have access to answers)? That'd be great! If there ARE plans to make this forum an active community, with active developer support from the MySpace team, then it might be worth it for us developers to stick around. Otherwise, it just seems like we're talking to hear our own echoes, and confirming each others' redundant gripes.
