Stacy,
I have heard contradictory stories about who came up with the new registration server idea but the bottom line is no one but you cares. I can't tell you how many ideas I have come up with and either didn't implement them because I didn't have the time, the money, or the skills to actually see the project through to the end. I am not sure why you are trying to take away from Rob and Adam's thunder. The new registration server has been up now for almost 5 months and has an almost 100% uptime. The older system wasn't even close. Even Hamvoip stopped complaining about the allstarlink registration server not working properly once the new one was implemented. I am hearing no criticism about the new system or frankly the board of Allstarlink from anyone but you all.
Steve, Unlike the other stories, I do have the evidence to back up this claim. And I would disagree about nobody caring, I've seen three replies regarding this -- two to the list and one directly to me, that means someone cares.
I know you have hurt feelings toward the board of directors of Allstarlink, you never got along with them, and didn't see eye to eye but it is time to just move on. Without choosing sides, sometimes certain people just don't have compatible personalities.
You all have been publicly criticizing the board of directors for a long time. It is no secret that you haven't agreed with them and also don't respect them. I know you were upset when they implemented Community versus mailman. You started it up again after they switched to Community. The very fact that Community is really active and we can go months before seeing a post on the mailing list shows that the users like Community better. Your actions were undermining the board. It should have been no surprise to you when they cutover to the new registration server behind your back.
Whether you want to admit it or not, you retaliating by deleting the Github, setting up PTTlink after you new full well the new registration server was stable, attempting to switch Jim Dixon's callsign away from Allstarlink with the FCC, not giving back control over Jim Dixon's Class C Ip addresses and keeping it for your PTTlink network, sending out emails to all the Allstarlink volunteers saying that they have been fired and you are somehow the new board, shows that they made the correct decision by not telling you in advance.
At this point, I really don't know what you are fighting for. Are you just fighting now because your feelings were hurt? From my standpoint, the board of directors have done a good job. Under their governance, Allstarlink Inc was granted 5013c status, they were able to secure the rights to Allstarlink from Jim Dixon's heir to them, they implemented a new registration server that is stable, there has been a 15% growth in Allstarlink in the last quarter, and they released the first new client in years.
I am sorry for you that it ended this way but it really is time for you to just move on.
There is obviously more to all of this than what is being spun, and I will leave it at that. -Stacy
