VPF isn't the official VP forums PacDude, shivaSite still is. AJ couldn't steal that from me, and Randy has never changed it either. As to VPF, well, people made their choice. They still make their choice, even after 8 weeks of nothing but server crashes, a complete and total lack of communication, and complete inactivity with virtually no major attempt to fix the problems. It's the same old thing, AJ is more than happy to take the money, but when it comes down to doing something, he's also very happy to let someone else take the heat, or the blame, while he doesn't do anything, or even allow the people in place there to do anything either.
I told you so. Nothing has changed. 3 years of this, and I thought people would have caught on to this by now. AJ has this community by the throat, he can do what ever the hell he wants to, and it's pretty ovious that he's not going anywhere. He ignored the offer made to take over (sorry, I believe the term is buy now) by someone else, because it's been over a month since that offer was made, and still no answer.
You allowed him to do this, you all supported him, and you continue to support him. AJ has destroyed my name and reputation, and considering all the problems that I have had that can be directly pointed to him, and the situation I forced in at the moment, guess what? Your stuck with it. The server won't just continue to do this, it will more than likely completely collaspse, and both sites will be gone. At least I am trying to do something, but for the 5th time in a row, when I asked for donations, VPF did the same soon afterwards, so I am still exactly where I am, and so is the community.
This is the way it is, and there isn't much you can do while people continue to choose to support VPF with their support and their money. This site is just as good, so's VPO, though both site's internal backbone isn't good enough to handle the resource loads, people still don't come here. Why people tolerate all of this without even speaking up is beyond me. Why they continue to support a site like that is just out and out folly.
