How do you think people who did ten or twenty thousand Afternic appraisals must feel? Angry is an understatement I am sure.
The lost time and effort is amazing both for heavy forum posters and appraisors. What inconsiderate idiots they are at AN who don't give a 'Rats Ass' about thier members.
I probably should not have mentioned 'Rats Ass' as that may remind Wanda May to start her zillions of rat crap posts again here on dnforum. Hope not. LOL.
This forum has some advantages over AN such as the ability to post a clickable URL, a good benefit for many.
The way the Moderators are active here and a real name and real email address being required is a great advantage over AN. It reduces the wacko's and obscene posters, which I think may be a primary reason Afternic shuttered so much, especially the obscenities leveled against AN itself!
Also, we now have more thread categories than AN and other nifty features here, though AN's design and format was better in some ways. Nevertheless, dnforum is already valued by us and has great potential.
P.S. Thanks Wanda for telling me about the view Recent Posts capacity here, was not aware of it. I must be blind.How many appraisals did you do Wanda?
A few hrs before the AN shut down I saw you were in the top 7 recent appraisors, if I recall correcetly. You must feel like you were used and exploited by the 'Rats Ass' people at Afternic!
