This is the 1st chance I have had to get back over here and post. I have to say I was totally shocked to see flamers jump on a fellow member. Thank you to those of you showed a little decency. And no I'm not a punctual with what I write. I put a period at the end and that gets me through the day.
As for the new website, it is as it says in my signature. It's another option. If you are attempting to compare the two, then you are in deed foolish. As for administrating website's, owning them, or anything that you can possibly think of,...I own 3 total(1st one in 1998) and also admin 3 facebook's, 1 google+, and 2 twitter, 2 instagram, 2 whats app, 1 youtube channel, 5 cats, and 1 dog, 1 daughter who is graduating high school and starting her 1st year in college, and 1 lovely wife. So I have owned and ran a website for over 15yrs now. The last one I sold was in December 2011 for $230,000. It was a all motorcycle drag racing site. I set all site's up on dedicated server's. And use only vBulletin discussion boards. My #1 forte is the promotional aspect of whatever industry. I have new sponsor's with new products already lined for the new community.
As for the new site, it at best could be considered a spin-off from this one. It does share in DJI products, but if you look it is actually a site for ALL what I call "Copter's". Had the site matched the names of forums list here, or had it shared a similar domain name per say "VisionPilots" or "djiPhantomPilots" then I could understand the harshness given here.
As for this website. I came to this site with the same intentions as most others after buying my P2V. Right away I began making friends as in receiving PM's and sharing email addresses and some text messages. I began taking notice to the simple fact you little to no success with the search feature. I then noticed a few other things, and I then researched who owned this site as I thought I might offer that person a hand. Now from this point I'm not going to share my experiences in detail as it consist of people I'm not going to name for various reasons. I'm sure most can respect that. Anyway, after getting some questions I had answered I felt it would be more beneficial to everyone if I did what I had been thinking about doing, on my own so to speak. Along the way some "others" heard about it and contacted me to say they would gladly help if I room for them. So these members knew more about how the propeller's spun in certain areas then I did. I got to say here that all of this is only a fraction as to why a new site was created. The important thing for me was, was to have a site that would archived the info, as well as one that the info could be pulled up if searched for. The software used on this site will never do it needs to for these things to function.
Ok so I really did feel bad for mentioning the new site on this one. It's actually the 1st time I have ever done it in all my years of owning a website. Had this been my site I would not agreed with it without speaking to the person 1st and finding out what their intentions were. So here is how I look at it. I'm NOT asking anyone to pull out of this site and go to another. The other site is an addition to all other sites that share similar interest. I guarantee the other site is no threat to this website, and never will be unless this one shuts down for whatever reason. Every one of the best people on this site could be members of the other one, and this site would still be here for a long time. What you guys really need to know about me is, I created the other site for my fellow members, and for any enthusiast that takes their hobby serious as I do. I love innovation, and it was impossible for me to see innovation happening from with in this community with this site as it is. It is a very unfortunate situation, but one thing is for sure, I do have control such a thing on the other site and the Pilots there will know their time spent helping one another, or data of any kind wont be out of touch. Btw, I think if some of you were to meet me in person you would see that my intentions are good. I apologize if I came off wrong.
