I don't want to make bad blood with the TGS folks--the community itself is very nice--but I'm afraid I may be on their administrator's "naughty list" because I made this website. I hope we can move past our differences and agree to disagree. The way the "powers that be" disbanded packgoatforum.com and piggy-backed us onto another community without permission or even a note was so far beyond the pale that I'm afraid I can't trust that our community there won't be discarded sometime in the future. I don't want us to get sold, traded, or deleted because of someone else's bottom line!
I'm desperately hoping we can get our old content back so we don't have to start over from scratch. I believe it belongs to us and wasn't for sale. I want all of us to control the content here and I want to assure everyone that I am not interested in making money off this site or selling it to anyone. The content here is ours, not mine. I believe you are entitled to know what goes on and to have input about what happens to your forum.
I encourage people to still engage with TheGoatSpot. The folks there are nice and it's good to be able to reach a broader audience. Personally, I will probably put my contributions here first and copy/paste them there since I'm not confident that our posts will be protected. I don't want all our good stuff lost because someone decides to make a budget cut!
