content: Seems 4hv.org members do refer to Kaizer PE. So fair to say vendor wants their own board then?https://www.google.ca/search?as_q=kaizerpowerelectronics&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=4hv.org**edit - KPE has a nice 30kw UPS teardown

content: HVF.net uses the same software as eevblog, so it is not a coincidence that they look alike, core functionality is the same, so not as good is a little diffuse?I know 4hv very well, I have been a moderator there for many years, but ageing software on 4hv is a problem and after years of trying to help upgrade it, I chose to start a new forum, that task of upgrading a 16 year old forum is just not easy and not around the corner. In my perspective there was simply just too many things to fix, over a too far time line. I am not trying to talk 4hv down, it is where I learned a lot and met many good people.There is ofcourse a huge relation between 4hv.org, kaizerpowerelectronics.dk and highvoltageforum.net as I have been posting on 4hv for many years, the second is my own personal elelctronics website and the new forum is a extension to the comments section of my own website, but also a dedicated HV forum with a modern software.At the end of the day, all I want is a living high voltage community where I can spend more time on experiments and chatting than work around software shortages
