Good thing there are two sticky's for COTM...

I still run the first one as a screen saver Bill. You're hard work isn't wasted IMHO.

HEY MODS! As someone who just shelled out to support the forum and things like what Bill's done for us in his free time, I'm wondering... "W T F?"

I too will miss the 2014 show. Hope we get an answer soon as to why they pulled the sticky. Can't you still make one and just post info on how to obtain it through a PM?

Bill,

How big is it? There's quite a bit of free space left on the site that's hosting the Buying/Tech info files so I could put it up there probably.

Hosting it isn't a prob, I have had a hosting site for years, I just had a link for the last 4 years worth of slide shows for members to download from.
Thanks for the offer.

I was real pleased to have had my Z in the last one you did Mr Bill. Real disappointing no comments from mods why it's gone - especially given the work you put into it.

Not like the forum or users couldn't set up a dropbox account just for hosting this kind of thing, if nothing else was an option.

I always paid for a hosting service that I had the files at for download, It didn't cost the forum any bandwidth at all. I guess the thing that bothers me is that I been doing these for years and they always were a sticky and I just added the current show to the list and not a word that they were doing away with it. That kind of makes me feel like crap. It shows me that they didn't appreciate the work I did for everyone.
No biggie, I'll get over it.

Bill, I can't help but think that some kind of mistake has been made. You are a bright spot on this forum. You have offered encouragement and helped many of us in a variety of ways and your posts and replies set the standard for forum behavior and decorum. Simply put, when it comes to the C5 forum, You 'd Man! I hope you are able to continue presenting the slide shows in the future but if not, thanks for all the hard work in preparing the past shows and thanks for being a good friend to all of us.

I haven't been on here that long, but it's not hard at all to see the amount of effort and time that you put into the forum and helping out the members. I definitely hold your opinion and suggestions to high regard. It sucks that they would take it down without so much as a notification and/or reason why, but your work is greatly appreciated despite that fact.

As I recall, this same thing happened last year. It took complaints directed to the moderators and administrator to get it put back. It worked! So, send some PM's. If there's enough support, it will be put back up.

That's what I recall as well. I sent Savewave a message last year and seems like he wasn't even aware of what was going on. I just sent him another message.
Thanks for all you do Mr. Bill!

Just does not make any sense. Hopefully the mods can resolve. Wouldn't blame you if called it quits (second time this has happened), but would really miss a new show.

I can't believe the mods aren't aware of this. If one of us makes a minor screw up we get slapped down within hours. they may be working behind the scenes, but fer crying out loud surely they could comment..

I am a newbie here and enjoyed your slide show, I have played around with making stuff like that so can appreciate your hard work on it, I also hope you will reconsider and do more in the future! C'mon Mods lets get that sticky back up there!

The Administrator said he didn't know anything about it but he's going to check into it.
