After long and complex research of the forums we made in December 2021, we've eliminated most of the outdated content. However, time moves on and there are still plenty of threads demanding some attention, feedback, or direct help. We're now reviewing the Real User Monitoring and REST API forums.

Nothing's perfect, so the Community team is preparing a brainstorm to make well-known challenges we're dropping every month even better. More extraordinary themes? New gratification for participants? Or maybe something even more exciting to keep the interest big? Who knows...
