what happened to RED Digital Cinema? at DVinfo.net

I just tried to go in, and it goes to Reduser.net. Did I miss a decision to kill the forum section here?

We've never been able to attract any real "how to use" traffic for RED like we have with our other camera boards (check out our JVC ProHD and Sony XDCAM EX boards to see DV Info Net at its best). Our RED forum hasn't been much of anything recently but a bunch of links to Reduser.net discussions, and since all of those "how to use" discussions are located at Reduser.net, that means the single best way to serve our reader's interest in RED is to simply point them there to begin with.

The only thing that's changed is that instead of a bunch of threads with reduser.net re-directs, the forum link itself now does that.

Reduser.net is a real-names community; it's expertly moderated, and nothing else on the web comes close to providing the wealth of information they have there. I read it on pretty much a daily basis, and I wouldn't point our top-level forum re-direct to it if I didn't believe in it strongly... hope this helps,
