I know the feeling, have been waiting over a year for a reply to my thread about getting the email notification to work from Mohammad. He still has never said anything. It did come back for a couple of months, but has not been there since March. I personally think the owners of this site have seen it grow and just think about the $$$$$. More members, mean more ads, mean more $$$$, mean why worry about the members. New members will keep joining because of the dedicated member who stick around. Many members no longer post, I assume they left, but the ones who stick around to help, do it because they want to help others even though it has gotten harder to do. Mohammad, are you out there, and do you have a reply to the questions that are being asked in this thread? Many members would like to hear your side.
Concur, wholeheartedly!
And just bear with me for my tale of a very recent experience.
I was on Lawnsite.com.
I came under, let's say... a 'troll attack',,, from some very senior members.
Seems they took umbridge to fellas what talks with a lisp, like.
Wellll me being me, and a strong follower of The Breaker (Harry Morant- google him)
I challenged the rubes, gently...and asked Admin to mediate.
No joy...seems it was fine for the 'regulars' to have-a'-go on the "new guy" but
not so fine for the "new guy" to kickass.
I have requested from the domain owner to have my work removed, we will see
where that goes, in time.
Point is,, that site is how it is the way it is only because Admin is
disconnected, allowing the empty drums free voice. Largely a "social site"
I wish anyone luck in getting objective relevant mower/tool help in a post.
I reckon the sponsers would be well p****d at the low post count, taking
little incentive to tip some into withdrawing funding.
Again we shall see,, in time.
Since the very beginning it has been the articles that build sites, not the
builders. Traffic thereby has to hold value with contributers supported
positively in the backroom making it as easy as possible to get an
article up and read....ignoring valid requests dor assistance in any of
that is not a way forward.
These bLog sites are a dime a dozen, sponsers shift like sand - some
builders merely lack the history to know.
--- my two pennies worth in response to your (Rivets) valid critique.
Contributed despite the fact we do not always agree.
Trust that clears some.
