Ok to put it shortly : I created a site. People used it. A community that I wished not to lead, control or guide flourished on this forum (a personnal choice) . This community used the site.
One day, members of the community with high status encouraged users to go to another site. So
i) they must take responsibility for splitting the community
ii) the people who hosted the site previously may not simply take the whole database of 100.000+ users and start using it as is : the "movers" must move their own notes; so if 3749 people move to EU, you will have the notes of those people. Assuming, they have all entered 100.000 notes, the total still amounts to less than the 38.000.000 notes you have on *.eu.
To put it simply, even though you are the loudest, you are not the majority. There are over 100.000 users which are not on the forum discussing the issue here.
I understand your thinking, I know how anarchists think. I am not an anarchist so I can only disagree with you and protect myself from people like you and their emotional reactions. Thus my fait-accomplis in moving the hosting.
So yes, this seems to be a difference in cultures and backgrounds. It shows even in the way the forums are split : apparently south-european forums are not reacting the same way north-europeans are.
PS: let's not start a discussion about politics ok ? We have enough to work with...
Giro, Did you ever look and see how many of those 100000 are actually active or if they even entered a bill or two, let alone continue after that?EuroBillTracker wrote: There are over 100.000 users which are not on the forum discussing the issue here.
Rather than making sweeping generalizations I think you need a much better apprecation of multiculturalism as well as language divides, not to mention the geographic distribution of the EBT userbase, especially if you plan on managing a project like this.EuroBillTracker wrote: this seems to be a difference in cultures and backgrounds.

Regardless of country or language whether people feel confident enough to post on the English-language forum or any forum, we are not cry-babies, not overly emotional people, just people who have spent a lot of time fulfilling this project's potential, and who now are, rightly, pissed off. That emotion is universal and doesn't depend on country or language.EuroBillTracker wrote:protect myself from people like you and their emotional reactions.
I see on the forum that Avij is making realistic proposals for a good, solid future for EBT. You seem to be getting a bit more scattered and desparate with each additional message. What are your views on the creation of an association... ?
If I were a potential new EBT'er from Malta or Cyprus, or any country, I think I would run screaming from this site in its current disarray.
Perhaps I have loved EBT too much and made it too much a part of my life...
By the way, the hit ratio in France is over 1:1000 (down from 2500 when I got my first hit) So why should we care what happens to EBT? Well, the truth is, we still do.. although the days are running out on my and our patience.
