Someone contacted me that hadn't been following the saga... I guess that Jacks mass email made the rounds. So I sent the following, and decided to post it here so all can be brought up to date.
Hey my Friend,
Awhile back the Founder decided to "Retire" from the A&M project to pursue other areas. Supposedly he instituted a National Directors Council to carry forth the A&M Mission, and even after the attempted "take over" was boiling, Tom never came back to clarify it or its members, don't know why.
No One including long time members, which also included founding members like me, had ever heard this directive. So many members began to question the two guys that claimed "they were now the "National Council", and again Tom never came back in to clarify, one way or the other.
The "Council" members then started personally attacking the patriotism and performance of members of our forum, the very same people that had built the A&M Network.
More people started to question their motives and behavior... They countered by slandering, belittling and in some cases, viciously attacking fellow forum members. when the attacks would not cease, they were permanetly banned from the website.
The A&M Forum, to its credit, continued to operate but with a slower stream, a lot of people including me left the site in disgust. as we thought for sure that the forum would be brought down at any minute by the "National Council", many were amazed that it had not already been "taken-over".
We were working another website, when a couple days ago, Jim and Jack found that they actually "owned" this "A&M" site.
So we are in the process of cleaning up and "re-branding" the website, and with the usual crowd starting to move back in, its gonna be great again.
So if you've been hanging on the sidelines jump back in, we are attempting to keep the old A&M "network" going, most of the people here are the original people who set up the network.
Always keep in mind that the people regularly hanging on this site are the true "believers" who still want to carry on the original mission... Which is to link up with fellow patriots... locally and nationally, to set up local and national emergency communications networks and most importantly, to help right the course of our country's future... nothing more, nothing less.
