My Posts This: Topic Forum | Dan,
I understand where your coming from, and I know exactly what kind of time is involved with maintaining a website and servers. I've been there. If the IRCHA and Mark Ryder have a reciprical linking agreement great, traffic is always a good thing (except when your slashdotted). My point that I was attempting to make, and perhaps my words were a bit hasty, was, it seemed on the surface that the IRCHA was not making any real attempts to construct a viable and content rich IRCHA coverage section on the official IRCHA website. It seems like the IRCHA took the easy route and linked off site to someone else who had made the effort and provided a section on his website for that coverage. Mark did a great job and made significant sacrafices to put his content up, and if someone who is working on his fourm on his own time with his own funding can do a better job than the IRCHA perhaps the IRCHA needs to reevaluate it's website policys.
Now, if the IRCHA and RR has the agreement perhaps it should be commented upon when the link was established. I know I was surprised when a new window open and opened this thread, I was expecting a nicely organised and formatted IRCHA webpage with content I had not seen. Rather than an offsite link.
As far as your personal sacrafice to the organisation and the loss of family time. If this was a real concern of yours perhaps you should have taken a second thought when you volunteered for the job. I miss alot of home time myself when I have to put in extra work (unpaid) at my job, however it comes with the territory. I'm sorry you did not get to fly at the event however I would expect you knew beforehand that you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the event as you hold a position in the IRCHA.
This was not an attack on the IRCHA or it's volunteers, it was a comment on the appearance of the IRCHA's event coverage.
BTW Dan, the site looks nice. Nice job.
