So whatever happened with the old site? I kind of creeps me out how things just disappear with no notice, no mention, nothing. Well maybe there was mention and i missed it since I am not a paying member anymore. Who knows. (I guess paying members know. heh)
All I know is I got an email back in June saying the new website was being build and it would be up and running shortly. I was going to renew my membership right around that time but when I got that email I decided to wait. After 11 years of almost annual 6-month down time I knew this game already. You know how things go when they saying "coming soon."
You pay for a year's access to a freaking webpage but you're LUCKY if you get 6 full months of access and 4 of those is partial access while they work out the 'glitches'. Not wasting my money when the website is down and Ricky is on hiatus. Plus I was working so much at the time I wasn't even logging in at RMM and TSARM but once a month.
But now? I don't know. Is it a good time to renew? The membership is $50 now, but for what I can't say. It doesn't look like the fan club is any different than before. If anything it looks like we will be getting less. We don't even have a web forum anymore. Yeah, I know they said "it's coming", but you know how that goes....
So who knows the story on RMWFC? Why did it disband? Where did all the staff go? What happened to everything?
You know, back in 2000 Ricky's crew could get away with being anonymous on the web. Back then the Internet was still fairly new territory for many of us and protecting your identity was a favorite sport. But these days hiding behind a computer screen is creepy and looks suspicious. I don't like it.
