QC now forwards to QP and it is no longer possible to see your older open QC posts. Since the RAD Studio IDE still appear to report issues to QC – how can we now keep track of our submitted issues?
When will the internal error reporting in RAD Studio file reports to QP instead of QC?

[WayBack] Quality Keeps Moving Forward – Community Blogs – Embarcadero Community
A few people wondered about my (QC) criticism and some mistakenly see this as frustration.
Not being an MVP any more allows me to continue voicing these, as I get these from fellow other Delphi developers and clients.
I’m not frustrated. I voice criticism on social media as I still deeply care about the Delphi community. They are entitled to excellent products and easily searched/obtained information, especially for less than current products as these are the ones that are still widely used and made Delphi great and Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero/Idera earn a lot of money. QC is an important part of that as it has input from a lot of knowledgeable people inside the Delphi community.
Of course I know that the Delphi team has lost a lot of valuable people and resources, their infrastructure is having difficulties (hence deleting forum posts, shutting down services and even suffer from outages every now and then for which I usually warned them shortly after they happened) and they have a truckload of things on their hands. But I hardly see them reach out to the community for any help, so there is not much I can guess on how they want to be helped.
Criticism that canalizes sentiments from parts of the community at least gives them a place to respond and help set things straight.
The reason I care about the Delphi community is that they still give me a big feeling of a kind of family helping each other.
Even being in the field for well over 20 years, I still find that there are lots of Delphi things I do not know or have forgotten. Asking around in the community in a proper way usually gets me going very quickly for the former. For the latter, I have wiert.me/category/development/software-development/delphi/ and Google Search.
I spent almost a day investigating which QC links I had already archived and which I didn’t. That’s the dedication I expect from the Delphi team as well.
BTW:
This is yet another reason to keep QC: even the Tokyo release notes refer to them: [WayBack] List of new features and customer reported issues fixed in RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo.
