I think there is more people talking about leaving then there are leaving, and even so people aren't going to leave for good, it's to interesting to see if it fails so they will keep poking there heads in if they see things are coming along still they will be back.


Yeah I have to think you are right on this one. I think the numbers prove it:

Most users ever online was 7,603, Yesterday at 10:25 PM


Hmmm.

Right about the time the servers tanked.
Most likely not a true accounting of actual numbers but a function of the hardware/software error.Most of the sub-forums that I frequent are ghost towns.
Peak activity follows predictable patterns. Like after a wide spread snow storm, during weekends and holidays. But not at 10:25 on a monday night with only a handful of areas even rideable. Just a glitch. Proves Christopher is correct on one point. The site needs new hardware.

I don't know about the numbers, but what I do know is that watching my Treadmill all throughout the day/night, there are lots of posts that others are finding useful in areas ALL over this place. It's moving along, and not at a standstill, and people are getting info, and giving info. So maybe not anything that you are interested in, but definitely what some others are. :beer;

come on catwomen. this should be one of the busiest times of the year. used to be 2-3 pages aday in fouled plug and general. now we ary lucky to get 1 page or a half a page. you take out the complaining threads and then you are very limited to threads. it seems no regulars besides the 50 mods are even around. granted the economy my have cut some sledder out but this place isn't anything it was even last year

Christopher,

Thank you for your time. I don't like the fact that you're refusing to answer questions while asking for money nonetheless, I think the following questions are relevant for members considering how they'll vote with their dollar, as you put it.


Do you have any ownership stakes in this forum now or expected to in the future?

Do you have any ownership in the Magazine?


Will this site and AVOW be sharing the same servers?


Please answer truthfully and I'll go away from this thread.

As will I.
Although it should be fairly simple to find the answer to that question once the change over is completed for a person of high quality geekieness.:rolleyes:

To me it's irrelevant whether Chris has any stake in the Mag or even the forum.
I'm sure his paycheck...at least the one he gets from Harris Publishing will be determined by the outcome of the profits from the site don't you?

He has Started to answer some repeated (ad nausea) concerns but until this morning's revelation about AVOW and it's need for new servers and a paid customer base came to light I found (Without really wanting to) a whole new reason to question his motives.
While I know the church itself would never run a business like his website on their own on moral grounds I don't begrudge the man for trying to make a profit from people's religious beliefs.
Religious and non-religious people do that every day.
I just do not want my money to help support that goal.
It's just a personal thing to me.

So the question, now that I've calmed myself down, is this...

Are the two sites to be sharing the same new servers that you are requesting we help you buy and if so...Does Harris Publishing realize this is taking place?

Respectfully...AR.

AR,

To me, this info IS relevant. If we're being asked to help the site, then don't we have the right to know exactly WHO we're helping?

A true salesman/leader should do everything to not lose a potential customer.

It's all becoming a little more clear now.

I emailed the subscription dept. and have yet to receive an answer to a question that I saw addressed to Chris earlier but was never answered:

My subscription is now due. Will I receive a credit or refund on my magazine subscription if later I join this pay to play crap for the forum.

This you would think should be an easy question to receive an answer for............I guess not.

HP check me out

Well today answered a lot of questions for me, with the information that has been posted. For personal reasons I will not pay for either the magazine anymore, or a subscription to the "new and improved" snowest forum. Harris publishing made a bad move by allowing their religious beliefs get in the way of their professional obligations.......IMO of course.

So everyone that sticks around, Will they have to be referred to as "Brother"?

Just asking........:D:eek::rolleyes:

Wow, you guys sure are taking the high road.

I'll answer - you're wrong. I doubt my answer will satisfy you, though.

A non sequitur. I'd expect nothing less from you.
