The situation with apple communities in Russian

Yesterday.

Yesterday everything was simple, if there was a question on the subject of apple, you could ask it to the respected community ru_mac . The probability of getting a quick and clear answer was close to one hundred percent. In addition to this advantage, it was possible to search through the vast knowledge base of the community. It was beautiful and amazing.

Today.

Today, everything was not easy, the control over the community changed hands and the rules were secretly changed, posts began to be removed. The new administration explicitly states that the community will become an advertising platform. In the morning, I (like many other accomplices) received a letter from LJ user fedorof, from which it became clear that the community with the old rules was recreated at a new address . The audience of the old community is slowly shrinking, and the audience of the new is growing. It would not be so interesting if almost all those people who already make it work, answer questions and write interesting posts would not appear in the new community. The moral of this whole story is not as curious as it is useful to know that in the old Rumak there will soon be no one to answer the user's question, I would recommend contacting a new apple_russia for help, in my opinion, the future will be his.

Now. (upd.)

Actually, closing the topic, I want to add a couple of numbers. Today, on March 27, 2010, more than 1500 participants came to the community. It functions and point. The situation can be treated with varying degrees of fanaticism, but, in any case, the fact remains: we now have two apple communities. Everyone can choose one to their taste. In conclusion, I say that I prefer fresh apples.
