Christian is talking about the captcha on the post thread. Poor UI. We are already logged in.
Let me say, this is a real embarassement, not only for the current owners but for me to have such a great resource treated in such a manner. I don't know who is making the decisions but the lack of respect for the community is appalling. While I know, perhaps better than anyone here, the effort and expense to keep this train on the track the number one rule of a strong community has been breached. The community has lost confidence in the operators due to a lack of respect.
It's completely disrespectful to the community that no one other that the mods have come forward with a statement. The fact that the idea of deep sixing the existing content was even stated in public shows me that the persons calling the shots at EH have no respect for the community or have any idea as the culture or educational value of the content. This NEVER would have happened at Moving Parts Media, Universal Concept or Huge Universe. For fuck sake there isn't even an apology for the grief that's been caused. Those companies had people in executive and managerial roles that understood the culture of the community with some having firsthand experience in the craft.
EH really stepped on their collective dicks in golf shoes. The real test will be to see if they've fractured the community in a way that is not repairable.
