Thinking of removing Q&A in favor of private messaging

With our new private messaging getting rolled out, we’re thinking of removing the public Q&A. The simple reason being most of the questions seem to be private in nature and I think most people would like to have a back and forth dialogue (instead of a question then answer). The Q&A was not built for back and forth discussion but the private messaging is.

Therefore we are thinking of just retiring the Q&A and pushing those conversations to private messaging. Thoughts?

As a buyer, the QA section can be pretty helpful. I think there is a place for both forms of messaging.

EG: The questions and answers on this product came in handy when considering a purchase: https://www.tindie.com/products/miceuz/i2c-soil-moisture-sensor/

I’m in favor of this change. We would actually prefer public messages about our products be handled on our own forums so that there is a one stop shop for getting support for the products.
