Where does one go??

I"ve recently started into the scripting game of DesktopX. I liked it so much, I bought the company. Not really, but I did see a very good use for it in the company I work for so I persuaded them to spring for the Professional version. I've learned quite a bit by looking at other things that people have done. Howerver, there seems to be one thing lacking, and maybe I just haven't found it.
A developer "community" for lack of a better term. I know stardock central has the chat feature, however I sit behind a corportate firewall that blocks that port. I have snuck on the other side to get some quick info, but once the discussion is over it's gone. Never to help anyone else having the same probelm. I've posted some stuff on the wincustomize message board help section but those posts seem to elicite very little response (I had two problems and neither got any response, except my own. Only one was a desktopX issue and it is being addressed, see comment below). I once found a forum that looked like what I needed, http://joedoug.com/dxforums/, but it now shows this "Sorry, but this board is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Don't get me wrong, I did/do have a current issue that I'm in communication with the good people at stardock and they are on top of it, and I'm not complaining about the lack of support. I would like to find a place where developers can post a question or look for a current problem that has already been answered. I dunno, maybe it's just me and the nature of development doesn't lend itself to this kind of interaction. Maybe it's better to have the how-to articles (which are very helpful) and try to adjust them to my need. But where does one go when they have any issues?
Sorry to ramble on about this but I don't want to seem like I'm complaining about anything, I was just curious if I missed something on any kind of user-to-user interaction.
