OG

If my memory serves, the L2 was out of commission for quite a time about a year ago. During that outage, i sent en email to AGO offering to pay a subscription fee. (i'm not a trader). No AGO response at that time, but L2 did return in time.

I don't pay for using AGO, as all AGO readers including yourself well know. The quality of contributors on the ZEN site, and a diminishing number of readers ( based on the average few thumbs up for a good post) has diminished greatly in the past six months. This was formally AGOs calling card and reputation.

The decline in useful ZEN content contributions and perhaps late, or non -payment of Globe Media fees is the real reason.

I understand there are other ZEN blog options available, and will keep them in mind as I await a responce and return by AGO to their former level quality of service and participation. But not much longer, in the absence of an AGO answer. Maybe my 10 years of loyal and positive use here has been enough.
