Does this affect me?
If you have never posted on Blueprint or logged in to it, nothing changes for you. Your account, your subscription, and your calculations are not affected. You can stop reading here.
Why we are closing it
Blueprint gave engineers a place to ask questions, report bugs, and suggest calculators. Most of those questions now reach us faster through support and the Calcs.com docs, where the whole team sees them rather than whoever happens to be watching the forum. Running a second place to ask meant slower answers in both. We would rather answer well in one place.Key dates
