Truthiness
I know when AH went down a lot of people were confused. But I'd like to speak some truth about the situation. I won't mention any names, But the guy that ran AH, He had run the message boards for years. He knew what those connections meant to people, He knew how it would affect people when he took it offline.
He knew it would hurt people. I know this sounds like I've lost all respect for this person whose name I don't mention, But He could have given warning, Time for people to connect to one another. Time to prepare. He did not.
For whatever reason. He saw fit that if he wasn't going to control the whole thing anymore, That those connections people formed meant nothing to him. No matter how you look at things, He could have given people a warning. But he didn't care. Every day here at these forums, More and more of us find each other. But Don't be so soft that you remember AH through rose colored glasses. What he did to the community was heartless. There was no excuse for handling things the way he did. It was selfish. If he was going to stop or quit. To hell with everyone else and their friends and their connections. It was the most brutal and heartless way to end a community I had ever seen in all my years.
I leave this message to stand here. The community is reforming. Without him. And some day. We will be complete again.
