This is all now a moot point though as those that are taking issue to the thread needing to be more on topic to the content of this forum have decided to setup their own group.
We will continue to keep the TEA thread open and available for use for those that wish to continue to use it but please be aware that we will expect the conditions of use stated in the first two posts here to be adhered to if you do.

While I am deeply sorry that the founder of the thread has decided to move, I hope that the end result is beneficial to both the electronics community here as a whole, and the TEA community and I wish them the best of luck.

Thanks, gnif. The size and visibility of the TEA thread has become too much for the forum. When it was smaller, its odd nature and meanderings (which got its own name: The Daily TEAngent) were less detracting.

It's been clear for a while that the community needs more than a single thread to work properly. That's why I set up a forum for it. Many of the negative symptoms were due to too many things happening in too little space.

I appreciate your reply very much, gnif, and I harbor no ill will to you, Halcyon or Dave. You have a challenging job here and the last thing I'd want is to make it harder than it already is.

So, TEA is moving where it won't be a problem for both the members who had a hard time with the monster thread (I have difficulty with it, too) and the EEVblog community at large.
gnif:
Thank you kindly.

With that said, I see no reason to keep this thread open and as such I hereby lock it and take off my moderator cap.
(note I will still show as an admin here as I will still need these permissions for the services I render Dave)
gnif:
In hindsight this thread should not be locked yet, discussion needs to be open for suggestions on how weto proceed with the TEA thread here.

Unlocked :)

IMHO a lot of sub-topics in the TEA thread could have been individual topics in the test & measurement section. At least it would be easier to search for an old topic about a specific piece of test equipment.

That would only be proper for the on topic and test equipment related sub-topics. The point is about the off topic discussions that are felt out of order. I myself did not mind it that much, it just needs skipping if not of interest, but I can understand that when looking for something specific or trying to follow a specific topic it is making things a bit difficult.

But for sure the latest sub topic about replacing floppy drives with gotek emulators would sit very well in its own thread and get much more attention.
