Again, Yessoftware has banned John Real from their CodeCharge Studio Support Forum.  This seems to be the result of either joining in with another forum member regarding what is percieved to be YesSoftware abandoning it's user base of CodeCharge Studio and actually abandoning the product completely or posting a link to the CodeCharge Studio Support forum here in the YesSoftware Forum.

In addition to the banishing of John Real and his minor contributions to the support of CodeCharge Studio,  Yessoftware has also banned the use of the name CCSElite.  No more can that word (CCSElite) be used in a post to the CodeCharge Studio Support Forum.

It is also suspected that another reason for this complete exile of some meaningfull support for CodeCharge Studio is that John Real offered a link to a topic in the CCSElite forums where our members had posted valuable information regarding alternatives to CodeCharge Studio. 

This was a response to a CodeCharge Studio Support Forum post asking for alternatives, since most members of that (once very active, now almost dead) Forum are looking to leave CodeCharge Studio as a development environment due to YesSoftware's percieved abandonment of the product and having not communicated in almost two years what they intend to do with repect to the ongoing support & development of CodeCharge Studio.

It is clear that the CodeCharge Studio Support Forum at YesSoftware's site is not designed to be a place for free expression of ideas and communications in support of the development community for CodeCharge Studio and related technologies.

John Real & The Real Web Development Team have just completed the launch of Tribal Entertainment's new web site.

Tribal Entertainment is a Portal to American Indian Gaming Casinos.  The site is a custom CMS built with CodeCharge Studio using a Third Party HTML template provided by Tribal Entertainment.

Visit Tribal Entertainment and explore the many features added using jQuery integrated with a CodeCharge Studio developed application.

I know this is a little off topic for a developers site, but this is such a tragedy I thought I would put this up as news so we all could see what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico.

View the actual oil escaping LIVE from BP's ROVs at the scene

The impact of this will be with us for decades.

And Hurricane Season is about to begin.  YIKES!!!

Pray for those who live, work, & earn their livelihood on the USA Gulf Coast....  Their lives will never be the same!!!!

Live from the Faulty BOP 1 mile under the Ocean. Usually Shows The actual Spill.

This is almost one mile below the surface of the sea. It may as well be on the surface of the moon as far as ease of repair goes!!!

The worlds best and brightest engineers have been trying to stop this for almost 3 months now. Is there any hope they will ever be able to stop it??

There seems to be problems developing with Yes Software and it's dwindling base of CodeCharge Studio Users.

You can add your comments here.

Let's hope that things get better and that YesSoftware can rescue one of the best development frameworks to come around in a long time.

An eye should be kept on Extensoft and Artisteer as well and hope the YesSoftware policies do not infiltrate into this US developed product.

Just an update.  The conversion of CCSElite.com to Artisteer V. 2.4 templates is progressing.  I guess I forgot how big this site is.  Yikes!!!!

Check back as more of the site gets it's facelift.
