Totally agree, very good post. We will slowly build the community up again though - did it once, can do it again
I consider the closure of .com a temporary setback but also good in a way. We have now seen ntl's true colours and
they now have to prove themselves to
us before we even give them the time of day.
Aizad Hussain made the decision to close dotcom while I was on holiday and didn't even bother to ask my opinion - like he knows all about online communities. Anyway, I won't get started on that
This idea would have been more acceptable had we been able to replace it with something much better, namely the Community project I was working on. ntl couldn't seem to understand the concept that if you close a community then you must give them something better somewhere else, so instead prohibitively restricted the resources available and their buy-in/support for Community.
But now we have this site so great, and the soon to come Cable Forum. ntl will never,
ever be interfering in our community again. The price on this site is hereby set at $10bn
