Well spent members' money...
It should be comforting that members' money is paying AMA staff for quality work like this:
Modelaircraft dot org -> About AMA -> AMA Gov Blog https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...a5b0faa2e2.png |
This is hardly a complex website. There's software that will even check for broken links.
And where is the ED in all this? He's clearly not checking work. And he clearly hasn't implemented processes to ensure work is checked by SOMEONE before it goes live. We keep hearing that "...they're so busy..." Well, maybe they should focus on basics? Holding people accountable for doing their jobs correctly? A quote comes to mind: "Never confuse activity with action" - Ernest Hemingway |
Shows up for me,,, maybe find a Hobby Franklin,,, your insistent AMA hating is getting old

(photo omitted) Whatever link AMA is sending you to via that method DOES NOT WORK. Tried from both personal laptop and work laptop that goes through company VPN elsewhere. Neither works. Question you should be asking is how does an organization spend $2,700,000 in staff salaries in 2021 and have basic things like this not work? That is of course unless you're ok paying people for poor performance - which is probably on carved into a sacred tablet somewhere at "Taj-Muncie." |
It's the same URL as in your picture,, there are a bunch of links not working, so that is a problem
Still your AMA hating is getting old |
I’m more concerned how our tax money is spent. I pay my AMA dues, I join a couple clubs, I fly not only at those club sites but venture out and fly at other clubs as a guest. I feel that I get my money’s worth. I’ve spent more than $85 on a lunch for the wife and I.

I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. The issue it turns out isn't staff incompetence but a problem with a server at the hosting company.
It was addressed and we are awaiting resolution. |

Thanks for the laugh! Astro |
The issue is resolved, they were actually working on it with the hosting company before I ever spoke with them.

The usual speedy logic. Because he spends $85.00 for lunch, nobody should be concerned with AMA’s lack of competence…

LOL Franky once you pay to belong its no longer your money. As a member it entitles you to one vote and what ever benifits your membership enjoys. Its really simple do your research make sure your satisfied with whats being offered or save your money and not join.

You are begining to sound like an old two stroke dirt bike. Nag nag nag bltch bltch bltch bltch. Just like old technology, nobody is interested in air pollution and the whiney noise. |

Can you imagine the disappointment of the pilot who didn’t get a clean launch if that person would have *****ed to his shipmates about the malfunction instead of telling those responsible for correcting the problem, Commander? |

Even with that meticulous attention sometimes things would happen that made the complicated machinery function below expectations. If that happened and someone who wasn’t responsible for the maintenance noticed he would let the correct people know so it could be investigated.

Military service is first and foremost service to something much greater than ones self, service to an ideal, all that stuff. It's also a team sport if there ever was one. EVERYONE looking out for each other. And it was a culture where nothing but excellence is expected, in things big and small. And additionally, everyone held themselves accountable first, and set the highest standards - because what they did mattered. AMA is not that, not even worth mentioning in the same breath. Also, AMA staff is MUCH better paid than the typical Sailor. And AMA staff works in MUCH better conditions. And AMA staff work FAR FEWER hours. And AMA staff do much MUCH LESS DEMANDING and MUCH LESS CONSEQUENTIAL work. And yet despite that better overall situation, lower demands, and better pay, they still can't do simple things right. |

I don't mean that in a hateful way because there are millions of others just like you...who QUESTION NOTHING and ACCEPT EVERYTHING they put on your plate. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...1c23b48509.jpg |

Or do you just take it and get it fixed when you have an issue |
I think we have hit a new low with this thread ...
Stuff goes bump every now and then. It got fixed. Get over it. |

I won't dignify this by saying it's apples to oranges ... at least they're both fruit. Above is more like apples to transmissions.

I know it is not a good analogy but it is as valid as your complaint to say it is the fault of AMA that the server malfunctioned and caused great distress for you.
