Take a guy who used to love this forum. At the time of this post he is the 26th top poster here of all the tens of thousands of members. He spent a LOT of time here, offering free plans, advice, and defending your love for cheap fun airplanes. He sees the forum taking a turn towards comercialism, and removing our free will by placing click through ads every 20-25 screens on the new RCU. He spends his time and carefully chooses his words and voices his opinion well within the forum rules. He does this in the "suggestions" topic (link Kraut posted above) because this forum brags about how they listen to their members, and everything they do is because of member feedback. My member feedback was to strongly reconsider the use of click through ads, as this strongly threatens our free will. I did this because I felt strongly about preserving the reason the RCU we have come to love, has become so popular. I don't want to see it sell out. Well, I was replied to by PlaneInsane and Marc. I thought it was on the level, and a very good conversation. Then without warning, I was locked out of my own thread. Then, my thread was deleted entirely. So now, not only do I see my free will for advertising threatened in the near future, I've also lost my freedom of opinion and freedom of speech here. Well, life is all about choices. I choose to spend my internet time where I'm wanted and my opinion (good or bad) is valued. It's not here. ChrisSpad knows where to find me if you're looking.
P.S. Many of you have thanked me in other threads for your successful adventures into plastic airplanes. You'all are VERY welcome!!!
