So,

Let me get this straight.

Christopher talks himself into a job with Harris to manage a site that worked fine.

Christopher changes all sorts of stuff on the site, making it pitifully slow.

Now that the site is pitifully slow, he basically forces Harris to pony up for servers.

Now that the money is spent on servers, we hear talk about this becoming a pay site.

Am I missing a step here?

it is UNREAL how one misguided person can screw up a good thing. If the rumor was false about it becoming a pay site, I think he would have hurried to deny such a STUPID idea.


Let's get a round of applause for Christopher, well done.

Anyone that is stupid enough to pay for a forum, good luck getting info from the guys out there that don't need to waste their money on that type of thing, all you'ill get is canned advertisements from the few that think it's worth it to advertise on a site that drove away the majority of its users.

You all would b!tch if you were hung with a new rope. Now get back to work, your boss is watching and tell him to spring for some faster internet, not the dial-up you're on now.

I guess I shouldn't have said anything... I am now up to 3 e-mail notifications for new posts in the threads I am subscribed to...

I was trying to help. I wasn't looking to be punished....

Default Pay site

Don't know if I'd pay at this point. I belong to a couple others that I pay to access the full meal deal. If the speed thing isn't resolved paying is not an option.

We can be optomistic.... realistically I can't justify paying for frustration. This site has a lot to offer.... I am willing to stick around to see how things turn out, but sooner or later we will all make a decision to leave if it doesn't improve.

If paying to use this site is the issue... then like many other sites, tv stations, radio etc, certain, non-advertising filled pages/locations should exist. There has to be value for the $$$. I generally don't pay for sites filled with advertisements. Yes many sites have generated pop ups.... I will not go to these sites after I have discoverred them... not even if they are free!!! So lets be careful. I am not the only one who feels this way.

Hope to see the new snowest site soon!

D.

NO they did not!
Christopher had a meeting with the "industry experts" and they came up with the changes on their own.
They know exactly where they are headed and exactly where they will end up. Or so I was told.
They are not interested in our feedback. (Unless it is positve and supportive.)

SO,


this is what happens when you speak out against the supreme leader,

Christopher thought it would be funny to change my name.


I'm not amused.

I also can no longer start threads.



this is the kind of childish crap we're dealing with here.
