Thought you might be interested in what I sent to Stew. He has closed down the thread discussing the issues between his site and this one. He said to PM him if you had anything more to say.
Never one to pass an opportunity by, I sent him a PM. Here it is.
Stew
I don't have a dog in this fight. I got a lot from Trailvoy, and I contributed a lot of my knowledge in return. No money, just knowledge.
I knew nothing about what was brewing, and in fact had been largely away from the site due to other matters that consumed my free time. But I must say that on those occasions I did return, I disliked the ever more intrusive advertising. I disliked it a lot.
I also disliked the slow response time of the site. That was annoying.
And, talk about annoying, the "20 second rule" royally bothered me every time it bit me. I did not abuse the site, and that rule frustrated what I considered to be legitimate movements around the site.
Yes, I gained a lot of information and knowledge from this site, but the largest source of that information and knowlege has now left.
If you want to fish, you don't go to the desert. I will maintain my account on Trailvoy, but I must tell you that my first stop when I have a problem involving my TB will be GMT Nation, because that is where the experts are.
I wish you luck and success with the site. I bear you no ill will. But you did not build a better mousetrap, and the world, me included, will no longer beat a path to your door.
