| Chuck in E. TN:
I finally got onto the site by creating another e-mail address with my ISP and registering as chucketn2 I read the angry posts of those who have gotten on, and typed up a reply expressing my angst. Gues what? My reply failed to post! In a nutshell, I said I had turned off advertising in my profile, and didn't like the idea of anything I posted or uplosded becomming the copyrighed property of the new owners. I am going now to reorganize my photobucket files to remove the links untill the fog clears. Don't look good from here! Chuck |

Oh well, another good form down the tubes... Been 2 1/2 hours since I requested my new password, no response yet. Chuck --- End quote --- Apparently it isn't a dedicated server then. Well dedicated to HMEM anyway. |

The site has been bought by a "media company" That means they want to sell advertising. They get paid for every ad displayed, and more for every 'click-through' when someone clicks an ad. Their web site talks about --- Quote ---However, through the development of our propriety content management system we have successfully been able to give our users the tools to further develop outside the forum. --- End quote --- I think this means they mine info from the forums to create other media they can load with ads or sell. Note the downloads section is missing- thats the first 'mine' of info. Watch for a pay-per-load section soon. I am out of there. I will not support them by viewing their ads. They clearly have no interest in model engineering- just in selling ads. I guess that raises the question of who owns this site. Wonder if they will sell out? It really annoys me to see the internet go to just another advertising medium, but that seems to be the way its going. |

Only if I can retire off the money :lol: Seriously, no-one in their right mind would pay me what I would require to sell. I view it as selling off my shop & tools. And that is not happening. Eric |
