Such a shame. But you're right, it's not suprising. That's why i don't trade much anymore, and when I do, it's with people I know. I still enjoy filming and sharing my masters' w/ other filmers, but much of the trading aspect of the hobby has become BS.
@hellawaits77NY I'm still filming, but it's gotten to the point where it's for me and anyone I went with. I'm not going to bother putting up clips anymore unless it is permission shot and the band wants me to. Just don't need the headaches of letting the (m)asses know what I've done.
@hellawaits77NY Job's been busy, lots of travel, lots of training. Catching shows when I can, which isn't too often. Looks like things are quiet @ MD, and looks like continued degradation of the hobby @ MetPage. Sad to see, but can't say I'm surprised.
@hellawaits77NY Mexico City porshot "surfaced" but was offered for a very inflated sale price and then unrealistic trade requests. Really sad to see how far down the "hobby" has gone. You'd think with faster internet speeds, cheaper hard drives and all things might get a little better. Guess not. A big part of the reason I don't miss it at all.

@hellawaits77NY Not a whole lot, clearing out some old projects while I have a bit of downtime. How've you been doing?

Cool. Sam ol', same ol' for me. Filmed a couple shows last month. Hoping to get everything authored here soon. How's the new job?

Yep, MD is slow as always :-( Only recently started going back to Metpage. What has happened?
