Cliesource Has Combined With PalmOneCity to Form 1SRC
My home on the web, ClieSource is no longer. With the news of Sony suspending the Clie line, it was decided that something would need to be done with the Cliesource website as it would die eventually. Cliesource has been running since December of 2001 and I became a member there back in October of 2002. In October of 2003, Cliesource spun off a new site for PalmOne devices called PalmOneCity. I think the big reason for this was due to the release of the PalmOne Tungsten T|3 handheld. This was PalmOne's big comeback device and many Clie users switched over to it.
With the Clie line ending, it was decided that combining the communities of Cliesource and PalmOneCity into one would be a great idea. Not only that, the site now supports all PalmOS based devices, so there are now forums for the Tapwave Zodiac, the Garmin iQue, and also the Samsung, AlphaSmart and Kyocera devices.
Not only are the sites combining, other things are being changed too. For one thing, the forums have been streamlined. That are now less topics to wade through to try and find a thread you are looking for. For example, Apps, Launchers, and Games have all been combined into just Applications. They are all technically applications and are all related. There are still separate forums for the newer Clie lines, but all older Clie devices now have just one combined forum.
Also, the software powering the forums has been updated to the vBulletin 3.01 from a much older version. This means that there are nice features such as drop down menus and basically a much cleaner look. The cleaner look isn't just in the forums either. The front page is now much simpler, though currently I find the font much to small to read.
But, there is still a lot missing from this new combined site. Reggie did an amazing job throwing this all together at the last minute. I don't think he slept at all during the Memorial Day weekend. He even took Tuesday off work to finish readying the site since it was planned to be finished by midnight of the 31st, just in time for the big Clie announcement.
But, for anyone who hasn't already done so, make sure to check out the new 1SRC site and if you have any suggestions or comments, post them here.
