The site has only been getting worse and I forewarned Zap well beforehand regarding the software upgrade and what happened to another site that did it. The views have gone down more than 75% and the site is not coming up on the search engines like before.
I don't think it will ever recover.
The constant allowed bickering, bullying, political arguments, and so on. Banning one over another even though both parties deserved a "time out". Favoritism is very evident. And where are the mods when they are needed? I just don't get it.
I suggested multiple times to send out an email blast to all registered members about the upgrade and potential interruptions. I also brought to his attention that my bookmarked link would no longer go to the site and gave him a good URL, again suggested to send out an email blast to alert registered members of the changes and potential that the old links they have may not work. The response I received made no sense, to me it was gibberish, and alas, no email blast to registered members....
I wish them the best.
Lastly, very bad timing on the "upgrades" too. No warnings, happened immediately after the flounce of Malamute. Coincidence? not sure.
