it is about helping each other, coming here with problems, having them sorted and helping others with their problems, hence the name Help.com.

The site you are use to was bought by CNET Networks in 2005.
Cnet has closed it down.

Help.com is also a Cnet site so cnet did see the point of running two site that are so similar.

They are not similar - consumating was a social networking website.

well there are fewer and fewer admins on this site….the mannagement now appears to be left in the hands of the mods only….

this to me shows a lack of dedication from cnet.

Maybe it will be.

The management of this site is done behind closed doors so users dont realy know what is going on

Consumating users was told that the site would be closed

Consumating was to myspace as a Ferrari is to a donut.

Not even close to the same. Not even close to similar.

I think CNET just happens to have some problems with their focus and their community managers seem to be asleep at the wheel. Not the managers of their individual sites, but the VP of Community or equivalent at that company.

An upper level manager doesn’t always have a solid understanding of what the managers under them are doing. This is probably the case in which someone asked a director where to redirect the traffic from Consumating and they decided to try to upsell this place, by dumping pissed-off hipsters on you. It’s sort of like redirecting traffic heading to a night club to Disneyland. All the people showing up expecting disco and drunkenness are suddenly surrounded by Mickey and “It’s a Small World After All.” All the people at Disneyland are wondering who the douchebags invading in hordes are and why they’re so snarky and hostile.

Lose/Lose, as Ben Brown, founder of Consumating, noted.
