Nothing to see here, Move along, Keep it moving...........

Since when did this become a IS TECH trashing forum?
 
 ??? ???   Let's move on.
 

Ok, this attitude out of people on this board is not called for. I was voicing an honest concern and all anyone can do is jump down my throat. Thinking I should be banned for daring to question a company's decision? The gall I must have had thinking I could try to actually voice my concerns! This isn't second grade. I think that maybe, as adults, we can have a civil conversation. All I've ever asked is that if you do not agree with me then you try to give your side of the story in an articulate manner. So far there hasn't been a whole lot of articulation but there has been a great deal of knee jerk reactions.
 
It's actually a good thing and a testament to ISTech that everyone here is so supportive of ISTech (even though I think that support may be a bit myoptic or blind). It's quite obvious that they have a great thing going and really do know how to please their customers (well, most of them). I do plan to have my company upgrade to Evo but I'm still disappointed at the no source stance. Make no mistake, my disappointment is not scheduled to stand in the way of my adoption of EvoERP.
 
I will not apologize for voicing my true opinion or defending it here. Just because this board is hosted by ISTech does not mean that it is improper to voice concerns about them on the board. Go to any other company's message forum or newsgroup and see if everyone is in support of the company. I think that in reality I've been fairly low key. If you think my posts have been flame worthy you should try other forums and usenet some time. This is a birthday candle. Trust me, this topic has been far, far under my capability for flaming.
 
Please, if you are tired of seeing this then quit reading. There is nobody forcing you with a gun to your head. If you don't like the topic don't partake. It's really quite simple. I never forced anybody to reply. I'm thankful that some people almost decided to answer my concerns but I wasn't forcing anyone into the discussion.
 
BTW, it's Evo all the way for me too. As I've said many times so far in this thread, I like EvoERP. I like it a lot more than DBA. That's what makes me so mad. I can either choose to keep just DBA and be able to write mods or I can go with EvoERP and be locked out. I'm not overly happy at those options but given the choice I will most certainly choose EvoERP.
 
And, also like I said, I'm not trying to argue this anymore. I give up. I wanted to end the topic and yet people still keep posting things about how I shouldn't question 'The Company'. Questioning is what makes the world go round. Just think of where the world would be if nobody questioned anything.
 
And just to be clear, I really am sorry for all of this trouble. I never meant to start a war I just wanted to know why they did what they did. But it's gotten way out of hand.

Thanks Lynn. I apologize that my posts were probably a bit too much on the flame side. I tried not to be too flameworthy but I know I didn't quite succeed. Your answer was indeed what I needed to hear and really did clear things up. I appeciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Your post really did clear things up for me and made me see that you do indeed have good reasons for your company's position.
 
Your reason #4 was something I had not thought of. I suppose it does make sense that people could back port your changes to DBA classic and steal things. I do understand now.  
 
All in all, thanks for setting the record straight.

You know... I had a big post here and now I'm changing it. I know that I am guilty of the pound of salt rather than ounce of sugar and so I'll cut myself off here and just say that this topic has been discussed to it's conclusion and I'll try to be nicer in the future.
