I've been asked questions about this more than a few times over the past few days. So I thought I'd just put up a post about it.
It seemed strange to me at first. Why would someone wonder if we are going to be here today and gone tomorrow. But I get it. Your best friend just told you can't come over anymore because his third wife doesn't care for you. (Husband for AD)
If that's a concern, know that HT started 2 years ago as a vision from a few long time "mother site" users that had enough. We wanted a place without a corporate $ drive and an agenda that we didn't really understand, John at Big Rock Trees gave us that. We've been through some ups and downs. Real downs to be perfectly honest. But through it all we're still here and there has never been talk of charging for the privilege of posting or pop up ads.
Just wanted to put some fears at ease. In the last two weeks there have been a couple offers to buy out our site. Flattering but not what John started the place for. He doesn't post much and may not even be here much but this is a passion of his.
If you want to PM me and ask about how long the site will last please feel free. But I'm here to tell you HT is in it for the long haul.
Also not trying to slight any of the other sites that have started up. We have to respect what their doing because we've been there. Good luck and best wishes to them, the more places for our passion the better.
PS
I may be slow with responses today. Visiting colleges with my son.
