ironically in a quote I just received from SolarWinds for something I got this at the bottom:
SolarWinds would like to offer you a FREE, full-featured product. Alert Central consolidates alerts from all of your IT monitoring software and directs the right alert to the right person. Interested? You can download Alert Central right now: swalertcentral.com
So looks like while the forum is being a bit ignored, or at least this post is, they are still pushing it.
