I wasn't sure that was a good idea.......AS wouldn't allow that.

 

Good thing I have read the thread because it looks like AS has been hacked again. I think the owner of this site is a member, but anyway.

 

It went right to AS on my machine. I use Firefox with the Noscripts add on....

 

I am running Chrome on a Mac and it went to linkbucks.

I like Chrome, I guess I will see what I can do.

 

Darin has had a hell of a fight with the hacker........I feel for the guy.

 

I downloaded a noscripts extension for chrome and AS is back for me. It has been a wealth of knowledge for me over the years. Much like Archery Talk when it comes to my bow addiction.

I will toss a few bucks in the hat for T-Bone.

 

I would love to see all of the saw and tree care forums get along without feeling like some sort of competition was going on......

 

Uh, that will never happen. And they are competing for forum posters and advertising. And this is getting political, so I will stop here. ops:

AS for the link to the post above, AS is still being hacked and re-directing (just tested using my laptop with internet exploder). The search engine there has been failing for a long time, and even Google searches of that site are not working any more. Darin posted the issues over on the vBulletin site, with little response there, and he and his wife are pulling their hair out trying to resolve it. Many sites have been hit lately, mainly from hackers in South Asia.

 

Well they are in competition for ad dollars. The more page views the more ad money.

See any ads here? I would like to see it kept that way so that this can be a truly open forum.

 

Where do I donate?

 

Good Question, Scotty?

 

You should be able to set up the site to accept Paypal donations. Put a button at the top. That would be better than ads.

 

I've all but given up on Arboristsite........ hope I don't win the raffle saw, I won't be able to get on to check my PM box

 

Unfortunately as this site grows the cost to operate it are going to go up as well. Someone will have to pay for server space etc. This has happened to almost every site I am a member of. It takes money to be on the web and the money will eventually have to come from us or advertisers.
