Does anyone know where the forum for Foundry and Alloy has gone? Has Adam moved it to a new address? I really need to read up on some things.
Thanks for any informations.
Matts
For the moment, you can link to the Foundry and Alloy documentation via this page: https://elixirgraphics.com
Elixir Graphics has closed down. Foundry and Alloy are no longer supported.
Hey there! 
As you’re probably aware, Foundry is no longer available, as Elixir has shut down. We’re happy to help as best we can if you have any Foundry questions.
Foundry Docs can be found here, although I’m not sure how long they’ll be online for…
If you’re open to exploring something new, you might want to take a peek at Elements. It’s currently in beta, but it’s shaping up to be a powerful and intuitive WYSIWYG builder. It’s designed with a modern approach and might be just what you’re looking for. Plus, since it’s being actively developed, there’s lots of exciting potential ahead! 
Anyway, let us know if you have any more questions about Foundry or RapidWeaver Elements.
Happy Weaving!

Hi there!
Thanks for your replies. Yes, I know that Elixir has shut down and I have already seen the remaining documentation pages.
But he will hardly have simply switched off the forum, which contains collected knowledge. Why would he do something like that?
I have 14 projects, some of them larger, that are nearing completion or have recently been completed. If I had to do without expertise from the forum, it would be an absolute disaster and I’m sure many customers feel the same way.
It’s also impossible for me to simply switch to another product. I’m planning to do that, but it has nothing to do with the fact that existing projects have to run and be supported.

Because it cost money to run a Discourse forum, and with Foundry development and support shutting down, I imagine it didn’t make financial sense to keep the forum going.
You (and all other Foundry users) are more than welcome to post any questions on our forum. There are still a lot of Foundry users in the community, and they are welcome here to get the support they need. We will do our best to support our users, even if we might be limited to what we can do as Foundry is not our product. And you have a lot of fellow Foundry users here that can offer advice and feedback too, they have a wealth of information and product knowledge to share.

Thanks for your reply and the offer to help, Dan.
I have also run forums. It doesn’t cost more than a loaf of bread a day and if funding was really a problem, you could have made an appeal for donations. Heck, I’m a software developer too (in a completely different field) but I’ve never been left hanging like this. Even the docs for Foundry3 are gone now! As if that would cost anything… An absolute disaster!
I’ll try to get at least a few simpler questions answered here. Let’s see if there’s anyone else who still uses Elixir products and can help.
Hi @binarydog,
just an idea but not sure if it helps.
Did you try ChatGPT? Not sure if that have been used for training.
I never really get something 100% useful out of ChatGPT but mainly a direction where to go from there.
Currently the docs are still available in the “WayBackMachine”:
https://web.archive.org/web/20241201063457/https://foundry.elixirgraphics.com/documentation/
Navigating there is very slow (of course), but most content should still be there. Maybe you can save the pages of interest for you as pdf-files to access them later on…

Thanks for your tips! The content with the WayBackMachine is reasonably usable - at least.
In the meantime, Adam has also switched off the YT channel. It wouldn’t actually cost anything, but I’m starting to get the feeling that it’s some kind of reckoning. I can’t explain what this is all about and find it just disgusting.

Agreed. Adam is cheating his customers of the documentation we paid for and keeping the money.
