Mike Fisher and Maven/SI

[WillE]

My plan was to post both places, but with Matt boy's salty response, I don't think they really need me over there.

I may still lurk, but we'll see.  Kind of ticked me off and I snarked back, but deleted it and went more mild.

It's sad... I've been there for almost two decades, but, oh well.... When you go big time,  you don't really need little people like me, I guess.

I don't think it's that.  I am sure Fish is frustrated with Maven and what he has got himself into, but he can't do what you're asking, which is post a competitor link for his posters to go to another site, be it for legal or personal reasons.  

Despite missteps by Fish and his mods many of us stuck through many iterations of that board because of the overall community.  However, this iteration of that board is a total disaster.  I'd mentioned to Fish to move to some established board like tapatalk because features and ease of use is also very important.  Now that a lot of folks have come here, it won't be the same for him, unless something goes wrong with this board.

Of course, the powers have shifted now: he's not in charge anymore of this community.

But it was his choice first, not ours. And I'm pretty sure most of the members would follow him, if he would put up a decent message board. Or I assume he could take over here any time he wants. But I assume at the end of the day both models don't work for him financially, so I'm happy we're not depending on his business decisions anymore (thx Magickian).
