Re: Critique of the Critic (What happend to AMC Forums) -- NOW CLOSED

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I'm going to have the last say on this! After this message what happened to AMC Forums is closed!! 

In a nut shell the owner discovered he could get sued over what someone said to/about someone else. He decided he could no longer take the risk for his family's sake after an irate vendor threatened a lawsuit. The threat was more in anger than seriousness, but the owner had to see if it was even possible, and found that he COULD legally be held liable for what someone else posts on the board because he is the owner. I knew that when I took over this list. In order to sue someone has to PROVE DAMAGES and that the owner didn't take appropriate actions to correct a problem/situation. But there is still the possibility it could happen. 

Now, about the TWO forums that sprang up in the original Forum's place: Two members decided they wanted to keep the forum going and started new ones without knowledge of each other. BOTH were in agreement that the one most people liked would stay open. It didn't take long to see that www.amcforums.com was the most used since it looked like the old one and had a similar name. The person running the other one is a member of thhe new forum and converted his to another topic with no hard feelings at all. So there is NO strife there whatsoever! 

If you want to know more on this subject go to www.amcforums.com and peruse the "General Chat" area.
