Yes loosing zxplay was a big eye opener about sponsor crisis. Yes , Lack of quality posts or theme problems were not the solo reason for this. This is what i was telling from start. I was telling these problems started when freevps.us had started loosing sponsors and also those old active staff members.
No I was not saying Ignis is incompetent. I was saying he was arrogant the way he handle things. Yes Staff work for free and that's how it works for almost all forums out there. But free or not it is a responsibility you need to take seriously. Yes Old staff had to retire because they had no time. then what's the point having new staff if they have no time in first place. Incompetent part was for some new mods you wouldn't even see around forum after couple of weeks. Yes there were wholesale post deletions happened. It even happened to me couple of times and I did talk about it to then give away manager, Chris. After that even I didn't want to post more than I should.

I thought to address your post too plus since you posted in freevps.us that its all happened because of members and members taking advantage of staff's kindness. Also what happened at your old forum and freevps.us are not same at all. You were giving those vps your own. So that system had no long term sustainability. If 100 people had taken vps then you would had to pay at least 100 usd monthy for ips alone. You your self told this in ending days and even threaten to close the forum if members wont donate money. Freevps.us was based on sponsors and it was handled better Loosing sponsors and Staff lacking time to manage led to the unfortunate chain reaction. IEpicDestroyer has tried to reboot freevps.club but lack of sponsors is the reason inactively there. It's a POST TO HOST forum. Member join there so they can get a vps in return for their activity. People are not going to be active or come and join if it doesn't offer what they advertise.
Anyway it's a fruitless discussion since the great forum is already gone. We might not agree on the reasons why it had to be shutdown but we all agree on it's the best free vps provider while it lasted and had lots of good memories and enjoy some great servers from sponsors.
