That is a change then - from before.

I don't see VPU doing anything else than what you used to ... limiting downloads - which I admit, seems to have changed some years back ? I would not know being one that payed that Platinum way back when. On VPU I voluntarily payed Dazz on a yearly basis ... for maybe 2 or 3 years. Don't remember. Told him I would be fine with continuing with that on a yearly basis when VPinball closed. He never required any payment, and still don't. Actually refused my suggestion.
I admit. I don't know the exact ruling for VPU these days. Only that you can get to tables without having to pay for them. It used to be 5 or 10 here pr. day, here (don't remember the exact limit), so, really, don't point fingers. I actually see a good in limiting downloads to be honest. You kind of have to come back if you're bit of the hobby and was surprised to hear that you have now taken away that restriction. I bet you would still have that up if only you found a way to keep those Australian turd(s) out of here.
The secret area you mention. I can tell you straight. First post I ever saw there was maybe a month after VPinball closed and I assure you, there isn't really much of value there either. VIP do get access there. You did have such a thing here too - and maybe still have ? People pay Dazz to help him run the bills, that is basically it. I of course have no clue if he is making some money on it now in the latest years, but, if he do - I would be happy to hear it. I know for a fact he shelled out from his own pocket year after year so - yeah, it would be great if he could keep his balance in the black instead of red. He deserves it, just like you do I guess.
I find it kind of funny you keeping pointing fingers towards Dazz and in the same sentence suggest that I should contact Bigus1 and square things up. Maybe listen to your own advice for once ?
No limits for years and years here.
You're right, you have to pay the bills ... so I do, and have done so for years. We've been running 'red', as you say, for as long as I can remember. It's not red, in my opinion, though. It's giving to a great community whenever I pay the bill out of pocket. Don't care. I made a commitment to keep this site running ad infinitum, and I intend to do so.
I didn't feel right about it in the first place, so I removed them. Years ago, some VIPs suggested I set it up with limits, because people were donating $0.01 for a lifetime of unlimited downloads and I wasn't working. When I started working, things changed, of course.
As has been discussed on Facebook groups and here, Dazz has a section that's VIP or pay only. You probably can't tell, since you're a VIP. Doesn't mean much, though, when you can just BUY that status over there. Timers, download limits, etc. are solely for him to cash in. Have you not been paying attention? He planned on cashing in from the very start, and I've been warning everyone for years. I'm just not that loud about things, I guess. I don't like conflict, but I sure as hell will call out douchebaggery when I see it. It's in my blunt nature.
Bigus never ran an 8 year smear campaign against you, opened a site with unauthorized content just to spite you, and acted maliciously toward you every chance he had, unless I'm mistaken? Not even close to similar in nature.
