Frinkster, I have similar concerns about competition with .COM. See my earlier post re: "Pls. explain difference between .COM and .NET [This message has been edited by davebing (edited December 08, 1999).]
Clutch, now I didn't sign up on your mailing and I guess that led to a couple of days of frustration. I thought you pulled another April Fools joke by putting up a grammatically Dustified Clutch City with colors that would make even the blind wretch. Now I thank the stars that my good friend at CC.net's BBS (you knwo who you are) emailed me back last night and let me know that the site moved, and it's the same guys from the old site. who is this Frank guy, and why does he get all of your customers that you built up over 3 years to redirect to a corporate site? I don't know if I am out of line but I think that it's a farce that it's not in competition (clutchcity.com gametime chats? how is that not competition?) and that I know where I'm going to stick that's with the creators, not the bleeding owners. long live the net, that's where it's at.
Sorry, .com'ers. I don't like .com's advertising minefield (ugh, it makes the visit so slow). I also don't like their BBS invitation: "visit the ClutchCity messages boards frequently for fan comments, available game tickets, flame wars, personal insults, ref bashing, smack talk and other over-zealous fan behavior." If I wanted insults, flaming, and the like, I'd be in a Yahoo chat room. Or the Blazer site. Thanks, Clutch, for all your hard work!!
