Plase bring back an STM8 forum

The “Others: Hardware and Software” forum has over ten thousand entries. That is a lot. IMO, it would make sense to have a separate forum for the STM8; that would make it easier to browse STM8 ports, and declutter the “Others: Hardware and Software” forum.

 

The only thing about STM8 that is still there in the new forums is the “STM8 MCUs” tag. And apparently most existing posts about the STM8 don’t even have that tag.

    The STM8 forum only became part of the “Others: Hardware and Software” forum 3 months ago:

    Can’t see ST going back on that so soon!

     

    Since then, there have only been a couple of STM8 posts.

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

      Hello ​@Philipp Krause,


      Thank you for the feedback and proposal. The response from @Andrew Neil is confirmed. Because the topic count for STM8 is very low, the forum board was removed. If the situation changes, this decision can be reviewed.

      Questions can still be posted with the appropriate label.

      Kind regards,
      Lina
