Are Appleseed Discussion Forums still active?

I haven't seen reference to Appleseed in several years. I suspect it no longer exists under the previous format. As I mentioned earlier, it appears to have been superseded by the beta program. You can try logging into that program as you did before, but if that does not work you will have to sign up again. I know that Apple has renamed this forum several times since I first joined 21 years ago.

Since I do not participate in the program I only know what's here:

For general questions when using Apple Beta Software, contact the Apple Developer program at --> Installing and using Apple beta software - Support - Apple Developer

Join the Apple Beta Software Program. Sign up today with your Apple ID --> Apple Beta

As I said earlier, it is probably now the Beta program which is only open to people signed into it (which I am not).

See this 6 year old document: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/resources/AppleSeed_for_IT_Guide.pdf

and this one:

Discover AppleSeed for IT and Managed Software Updates - WWDC20 - Videos - Apple Developer

"With AppleSeed for IT, you can help your school or business test pre-release versions of Apple software and provide valuable feedback directly to Apple."

They basically talk about beta testing which is what the Beta program is about. I provided links to that earlier. I have no idea if there is a forum or if that has vanished. I don't have access to that level of things. Generally any mention of beta things on this community is referred to that program for feedback. Again, how you do that I do not know.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to whisk you away to an Undisclosed Site where you'd be forced to write Apple bug reports and translate the nonsensical replies into English. Stay safe. Choose ignorance.

That’s why I’m asking where they are now!

What's the #1 rule of the fight club?

Hello~ And the second rule??

Thanks but I’m obviously not explaining myself at all well here.

I am a member of the Appleseed program, and I have been an active member on the forums for many years.

I have not accessed the forums for quite some time and my normal links - including the one in your linked pdf https://appleseed.apple.com/ - just do not work. They just redirect.

All I’m trying to get is a link to the Appleseed forums and from there, I can log in.

That's under NDA. And even if it weren't, it's an old movie that no longer has any relevance. You could honestly ask it if even had relevance when it was new. Sure, it had a Big Name and all, but was it ever worth anyone's time? And if the actual Fight Club were discontinued, even while the actors were still promoting the film and associated marketing materials on a Fight Club website, would anyone care?

I have never participated in the program but to me it sounds like Apple may have just renamed it. It appears to serve the same function.

But, I don’t see any discussions/forums there!

(I am @imacken, don’t know why this posted under a different ID.)

Does anyone have a useful reply to my question? I mean, how hard can this be?

If no one here knows, who should I contact to get help on this?

Thanks.
