I am now in CG 's Q.

I can understand being a bit miffed, especially if you had coin invested, but isn't that what contracts are for? Or did you just give the money freely? If so, well then it's on you. I don't even trust family without a contract.

TM, I never wanted money, I wanted her to make a success of the concept.
I still don't want money just not ruin my reputation with her ego, a great opportunity.
This was not the vision I expected and hoped she would follow. This was and is not about money.
I have zero financial interest in either side.

JMC....I am really disappointed that you, by association, are affected by this. The model for Communities Bound is a sound one, and I thought showed great promise. I recently came across a similar model out of Florida.....they started with a website for the The Villages in Florida, a 55+ community ( http://talkofthevillages.com/forums/index.php ).....and now have started one for the Sun City communities across the country. The original message board has 34,000 members......the Sun City one is just starting, with a couple hundred so far.

I really hate seeing the future of Communities Bound put in jeopardy by this feud. Reputation in a community is everything, and this is certainly straining that both locally at 285Bound, and across the other communities that have Bound sites. Sad.

Lawyers thrive on feuds and discourse.....they cannot eat otherwise. Open the local phonebook......thousand of lawyers looking for fee.....do not feed the industry....settle issues with civil exchange.

Hope this goes away...........BTW hundreds of recent law school grads are suing their schools because.......they cannot eat...........do not feed the system.

My suggestion is everyone stop posting everywhere. That ought to solve every thing. Personally I am sick of the pop ups I get from both sites. I am sorry that all the work Science Chic did to get advertisers is now for nothing. The advertisers must be confused as well. I wish you well Sharon. Bye.

Silence is NEVER golden.......discourse is vital......this will pass.......

Just a note. If you are getting popups from this site or the other site, then I can almost assure you that you have some sort of rogue adware that has installed itself on your computer.

Adware is a type of computer virus. I suspect your computer is infected. And if you see adware, you never know what other flavors of viruses are lurking on your machine.

If you have some sort of virus protection software, I would run a FULL scan on your system.

You may be putting personal info on your computer in jeopardy.

Pop ups? I must be doing something wrong (or maybe right), but I don't see any pop ups.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.

I tend to be silent more often than not, but in this case I think that what has been done to SC, the advertisers, and the members of the community is so outrageous that I have to speak up. IMO, the conduct of the owner of Communities Bound has been totally unprofessional, and defies any standards of good business operations.

I have no dog in this fight, other than wanting to see a business owner who has given her all to the community not be harmed for doing the best she can, while AFAIK conforming to all requirements of her contract.

i agree with those who have stated that this should never have been made a public issue by Communities Bound, without proper avenues to settle the dispute having been followed.

I continue to hope for a reasonable settlement of this issue, for the good of all involved.

But, I will NOT sit idly by and watch the reputations and businesses of others being unfairly, IMO, trashed, while the owner of Communities Bound violates the principles upon which 285Bound and Communities Bound were established.

Blondie, I don't get popups either and am one of the most amateurish computer users in the state, don't have any extra stuff like "firewalls" running or other protections in place.

No wonder you can't get your original name back!


And I don't get any popups here either...
