Just my two cents but I am one who finds the Software forum to be extremely helpful. The products that we discuss here have direct bearing on my total Sonar experience. I have gotten great advice here. It is wicked nice to have everything in one place and not have to go to 27 different forums (none of which I find as helpful or as civil as the Sonar forums) to get plugin and software information. 
 
Many of the absolute go-to plugins that I use I picked up on recommendations from folks here in the Software Forum. I hope it stays!

+1 here - and one of the points i was making in my comment on the sticky re the reorganisation of the forum

+1 and have made my points to the sticky:

+1 This software forum is very important for finding up to date info on releases and revisions.  Please, please keep it going.

Software sucks, there's like too much coding? I never mind too much codeine? Not sure how much is too much in fact.

I made the same point over there. I REALLY like not having to visit a bunch of different forums to get the information that I need on software. I used to follow multiple forums, but I have found that with the excellent advice that is given on this site, from people that I trust, I have no desire to hang out elsewhere. Which in my way of thinking, should be exactly what Cakewalk should want.

+1 I hope this section of the forum stays as is.

I had no idea what I didn't know about in this music universe and how the good stuff mentioned in this Software section can enhance the Sonar experience - until I started reading this forum.

The info from the discussions on the Software forum has been a huge help to my capabilities. The software and discussions have fueled my interest and continuous momentum.

This section of the forum has contributed greatly to my satisfaction with using Sonar.

I'll just go on kvr more if this goes ;)
 
and I know the bakers themselves use other brands of software, as I feel do a lot of software houses.. for err compatibility testing .. yer right ;-)

KVR deal forums are more cluttered and lack the direct pertinence to Cakewalk product and resultant targetted discussion.
 

+ another few.   For the most part I'm a SONAR X + Software + Songs forum guy, in that order.
 
Besides, I think Larry might implode if this forum were to disappear.
