Well, it did last longer than some other notable imprints (DominoPro, DominoPower, The Notes Report, to name a few).
It’s hard to believe that it has been 20 years since THE VIEW first arrived into an exciting Lotus market! During that time we’ve had the pleasure of doing business with thousands of subscribers and attendees of our Admin and Developer conferences. Throughout the years, we worked to deliver trusted and valued information to help you do your job better. We remain humbled by the favorable response to our products over the years.
It’s with a sad farewell that we announce we are no longer supporting a subscription model and closing eview.com. As a subscriber, you’ll retain your access to THE VIEW archives through June 30, 2015.
A lot of the people that I know in this community started by submitting articles to The View. As well as the other magazines. From there, many went on to speak at conferences around the world. They were my “rock stars,” and they still are. As well as my friends.
So, it is at times like this, when the venerable The View shuts its doors, that I reflect on some of the fantastic articles I’ve read in that magazine, as well as the others.

very sad news
Thank you ‘The View’ for making us all a little smarter and nudging us to think a little outside the box… YOU WILL BE MISSED! ;-(
it is unfortunate that the view is closing. I’ve read many helpful and educational articles in the View, and attended Admin shows. I hope the view would consider donating some or all of the content library to OpenNTF, I think it would be very welcome by the Notes community.
