Selling forum threads???

[CERuppel]

A site that has been a long time aid (as well as a source of endless amusement) has recently gone over the line.

Way over.

Their old forums "broke" and they moved to a new forum. This unfortunatly resulted in the lose of the old forums. Imagine all the knowledge that has been accumulated here going "poof". There were threads there that were very specific and detailed in their information. A lot of time and effort in other words.

But this tragity is not why I am writing this post.

It is rather the crass and vile attitude of the administrators. They are "unable" to recover the old forums, they have stated that in a couple of threads. However they are able to SELL you a copy of the old forums. The information on those old forums is not the product of their work, but of members like myself and others.

I simple cannot imagine a forum that would do this. Not one where I would be a member, at any rate.

Anyone know of any GOOD tweak sites or forums?

That sucks like a hoover, CE.

I normally get my tweaks from whatever gets a better hit from google.

Hope you can find another good site - that one smells bad to me.

You mean to tell me that a forum (like TechIMO, where people share their help and ideas) just hijacked all of those contributions, and now want to SELL them?

Well, I suppose that legally they can do that, (everything we post here is automatically the property of All Enthusiast, Inc. after all,) but I can hardly imagine such an odious practice happening here.

I'd say that site is history.

Happens quite often, I've seen it before.

Sadly, this happens quite often in the online industry.

Sites that do this prey upon people like us that have been long term members that would like to have a keepsake. Honestly, I would pay for the archives of my old favorites like the original 3dfiles.com website.
