I have sent the following correspondence to the Pbase accounts department.
Quote "concerning my subscription renewal
I received my subscription renewal notice and it is due by the start of February, BUT I am not happy with performance of PBase over the repairs to the Sep 24th crash. I have decided to wait and see what needed adjustments to its operation and the overall attitude of the management are made, before I hand over any more of my (fixed income) dollars.
Are you devoting full-time daily energies to the Pbase operations? or is it just a part-time hobby type of commitment? I would like to know exactly what the commitment of the management is in regards to Pbase. I would like to know what the managements plans are for the future of Pbase.
I feel it is time for a full and complete report to bring us all up to date on the situation, no matter how lengthy or technical. I would like management to be forthright with me and the rest of the supporters. Please have the decency to be honest and up-front totally, with all of us. In like manner, I will state that this letter will also be posted in the forum.
It feels uncomfortable to be dragged along for months with half-baked promises. I would like to see all the features on Pbase back to their normal function. Any that does not or can not be made to work as was designed, should be removed, completely. Features that do not operate as planned or expected are the same as half-baked promises, imho. Some improvements would be nice but I don't want fancy bells and whistles. For myself I'm satisfied with it as it is, when and if it works correctly.
Many of us supporters have committed much time and energy into our galleries for a number of years. As for myself, I have too little time remaining to start these past six years here, all over again from scratch somewhere else. If improvements or explanations do not arrive before my renewal date, then so be it. I will bide my time for awhile, to decide on any further commitments to Pbase by me.
Your patience would be greatly appreciated, (as much of mine has gone.)
