[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 11709, member: 175057"] I feel sad for Kink dink that the he has felt it necessary to close the forum, he has been one of the leaders in the satellite scene and I think is almost unanimously respected among the hobbyists I don't however feel particularly sorry for Astratech, they must have found the connection profitable, otherwise they wouldn't have made the immediate jump over to Toecutters. I must confess that the rule on 'Dudez that you couldn't mention another supplier, even if Astrarech didn't sell the product was starting to niggle me a little. Many a thread would start off "Where's the best place to get a ........." and the answers would flood in " Use Astratech, you should use them for all of your Satellite needs", I don't know about you, but sponsors are exactly that, there should not be duress applied for you to use their services. I can understand that you don't want to allow direct advertising on a sponsored forum, but to deny even the mention of another company name, in [color=red]my opinion[/color] is taking things too far. @ Lawnmower Man, is that information more than just forum whispers,it would be interesting to know the full story?
