Ah...but no doubt you're a smarter investor now on everything. :)

I don't think the DC4MS had any collusion in mind and it was just time to move on. I know I received what I now consider a tip re: my private messages. Thank you DC4MS if you are still listening--I learned a great deal due to your forum. Too bad it was an expensive lesson but the experiences with our family were worth it. I hope or wish it just lasts longer.

note i was only saying pwrshift was wrong about email. (see quote in my post) admin has access, and we mods were given high enough access to see it.

i dont think admin could see private messages, and i think if there ARE forums that do that, its going to be much rarer than the norm. i dont believe ive ever seen references to it, but it must exist in some form.

Either way, it's been a long time since the forum went blank. If UE had any intentions of buying up the site to go after its more vocal critics it would have done so by now. It would have sent emails, lawyers, phone calls -- and folks would have piped up about it here. It's a dumb theory because a company can't play Whack-a-Mole. If you squelch negativity on one site, it'll just pop up somewhere else. Opinions can't be suppressed.

My two theories are that either UE wanted to silence the forum (which it did) or that it intended/intends to run it with a tighter moderated fist for the industry's sake, while also affording it the opprotunity to market UE to prospective destination club members. It's brilliant, really.

I had the pleasure of once meeting DC4MS and he's a stand up guy. I don't think he sold any of us down the river. A tempting offer likely came -- and he took it.

Ditto on meeting him & his credibility... can't fault him for what happened, or the way it went down.

DC4MS not an asset in UE's list

I noticed on the list of domains that were for sale with the UE auction that DC4MS was not one of them- It would be great as we go through the next season(s) of the UE transaction to have DC4MS filing hierarchy back.
