Their take is that both the Developer Network forums and Teradata Forums on the main website serve the community well. I am waiting to see how the Developer Network gels. Personally, I don't spend as much time there as I probably should. I would like to see the TeradataQuestions site flourish as I think it provides the best environment for the community. In my opinion the StackExchange backend does the best job in providing a way to find the answer(s) to the question without all the background noise that may end up in the discussion. I just hope the admin for TeradataQuestions can find a way to promote it. Monis, I have spoken with Teradata on Twitter about running two separate forums.

I don't know why Teradata Developer Exchange isn't flourishing as much as it should have been. I think the only way to divert all Teradata users to this place is to close down 'Teradata Forums' and make it read-only. Apart from these sources, I have found the Teradata Knowledge Areas (KA) very useful but I guess only Teradata partners can access them. Is there an access point to these resources for the general public? TeradataQuestions is a great initiative.
