RE: Revisions
Chris,
I'm just an RC'er and avid RCU user, But I have to throw My thoughts in here.
The Old RCU for Me was a fun and easy to use site, I have bought many many items from the classifieds as well. I think it was great the way you could find things for sale and trade seeing it was a very large community, and you even had regulars that were great to deal with.
I wish it was still available here, OH Wait it is' You can still buy with no fees, only sales have been changed to a minimal fee base.
The thing about the change I don't hear mentioned much is the way it could be a lot worse, You might of had to pay for membership, or the ads could still be full page because Marc did'nt want to upset the advertisers and loose the $$$$
Marc still tries to give us all a good place and a modern style to go along with it, I think its mainly a time thing that most people are upset with. If the site was click 1 2 3 there would'nt be so many complaints, but too many users want it now and can't wait a little while for it.
I look at it like this, I still have standard AM & FM radios, I have no Idea how to program a computer radio cuz I never owned one. But that dosen't mean I wont buy one and learn to program it, unless I am too afraid of change.
You know the whole deal is about the whinners, the more they whine the more Marc tries to give them. The more improvements and the re-writting of code to bring the old way back for them, just because he listens and still Cares.
The whole idea was to afford to keep the site running, but guess how thats done in today's computer-radio age?? I don't think very many donated $$ on the old system, I also think the things to come will cause most classified sales sites to re-think expenses in the near future.
This is here now and its getting better everyday thank's to the hard work of the RCU Admin (All), You can use it all You want or You can go elsewhere.
The great thing is we still have a choice'
