Im not Never will be at this rateâŚ!
sniff
I never thought Itâd have to come to this MiG. sniff sniff
I told myself I wasnât going to do thisâŚ
Jebus people⌠Heâs still here⌠All he did was move the server, and the pain in the ass people who feel the need to complain about him, now have to complain to someone else.
The site is fine, Iâm sure Feliks is just as awesome as MiG, I mean, heâs MiGâs friend isnât he? Canât be that badâŚ
MiG Why donât you want my flowers???
Besides, AFAIK, the moderators will still be the same anywayâtheyâll set and maintain the policy. The only difference will be that the site will be hosted on another personâs computer, who will, in turn, collect the ad revenue. Why is this so hard for people to wrap their heads around?
Well-said, Stardog Champion. HTMF is alive and well, people.
I donât see the problems people are having with this change either  We are obviously still carrying on business as usual without any issues. MiG sold the site, he has a life, a beautiful family and I am sure wishes to move on with other endeavours and de-stress his life somewhat from the negativity caused by some of the responsibilties of owning this site. I will repeat what Stardog Champion posted, âWhy is this so hard for people to get their head around?âÂ
I would love to read a little write up on some of the phone calls Mig has recieved, Maybe a top 10, or best of this decade, I am sure some were pretty funny. Heck, just look how people are dealing with the move to a different server.
I have been out of town for a while and now I hear that HTMF has been soldâŚ
Lets hear the real deal and what has become of our local site!
Although I have had unpleasurable dealings with MIG and his hitmenâŚI would still like to know the real deal.
I have heard its an American owner nowâŚwhat did MIG sell us for?
Well thankfully you had remained off the boards during the delicate negotiations, otherwise Poor Mig would have had a terribly devalued carcass to offer up to our new digitial overlord.
what does it matter its been sold . the sites still up you can still post . happy holidays!!!
AWWWW⌠for the love of HTMF!!! this treasured local site has now being put into the hands of a âforeignâ owner!
Where has our autonomy gone?
There should of being offers put out to locals to purchase this site.
I know I knowâŚyou still have the likes of the PODUNK saying no problem were still the same due to the fact that that his site relies solely on HTMF for his existenceâŚ
This is the sell out of a Prince Rupert landmarkâŚ
The overlord can kiss my soriasis covered ass!
LOl, eloquent as ever mcsash!
LOL, uh no, anyways I thought that my site existed only because of the Daily News, seem to remember hearing that around here once upon a time.
An keeping with the theme of actually recounting things accurately, I never said âno problemâ, in fact I offered no opinion one way or the other as to who âownsâ the site, until weâre told to stop clicking on the post button, it really doesnât matter where the server is hosted, the topics are all local for the most part
Seriously PODUNKâŚyou have alot of pull and I respect your âblogâ.
In fact its the best thing to happen to Rupert for many years. Its the go to news place for me.
BUT why do we have to have our lil piece of PR yanked from beneath us and handed over to a North Carolinine.
It makes me sad as a Rupertite to have this happening to us. I just think it should of been auctioned off the the highest bidder with conditions.
I think MIG and his âcolleagueâ should start something anew. You guys know you can do it provided there is no âcontractualâ stipulations hampering the movement of another locally owned an operated site in PR.
HTMF is what legends are made of.
We have all heard of craigslist and kijiij âŚHTMF is right up there and could of had the same successâŚ
Good luck gentle mensâŚ
Sounds like a tobbacco lobbyistâŚ
Give me a break podunkâŚits a sell out and you just want to keep your fingers in the âpieââŚ
This is a sad dayâŚ
Fellow HTMFâ ers please see the situation as a take over by a âforeignâ investor. Like the likes of Veniez and PettyâŚ
Oh for cryinâ out loud, relax. We havenât sold off the water rights to the Americans here.
If nothing else, it keeps at bay those that were complaining about the illumination of local affairs was something best kept away from the local yokels. Not to mention removes the need to phone our former site holder at ungodly hours of the day to complain, now if they really have an issue theyâll have to pay a long distance charge to vent and or threaten.
Think of it as the ultimate in firewalls between your thoughts and the delete button.
I have had big battles on this siteâŚ
NOT ONCE have I invaded the privacy and home live of the owner nor moderators.
So PODUNK âŚyou support the sell out?
I really donât care where the site is hosted, just as long as it exists.
If you consider it a sell out so be it.
I donât quite see it that way, itâs not a publicly owned site, itâs not listed on a stock exchange, nor do any of us have an investment in it, other than an emotional one I guess. It from what I can divine, was a guyâs hobby that became a pain in the ass because too many people wanted to shoot the messenger, as opposed to trying to understand the issues involved and maybe look at themselves as being the cause of many of them.
Until we hear otherwise from the big bad unknown guy afar, we can still raise topics, inane ones even like selling out chat boards for instance, without fear of it being taken off the boards, so Iâm not sure why youâve decided this is going to be your rubicon for free speech.
What I do support is the right of anyone to partake in a hobby without having to fear harrassment from people that donât read before they think.
If this move solves that problem while keeping the free flow of information and opinion alive, then whatâs to worry about where the big bad computer is.
My oh my mcsash, do you ever feel so victimized.Â
Please explain to me how the patriot act and dmca now apply.
Thanks.
