Not as far as I know.

I expected nothing else from Barry. I wonder where he's now going to frequent to be so self important, controlling and arrogant?

 

[Black Hole]

Would get short shrift here!

The fat lady has sung. Did he ever allow a link to be shown for this site or are the recent new members finding this site on their own ?

Judging by the lack of increase in posts on here I would say not.

I disagree, there are more posts from either new users or users that joined hummy.tv years ago but never posted much.

You don't know whether that is a result of MHO's closure or the requirement to login here now.

Most of them are Hummy Arms type posts though. Very few asking for help.

My impression is there are more people asking for help. Like it's more than zero.

Perhaps the site mod on here can tell us if there has been an upsurge in new users?

 

[Dave480]

I made it here, although I did know there were two forums from my Topfield days.

There are multiple moderators; I don't know howto see whether the number of users has grown recently. May be the Admins af123 or Brian can help.

There have been 26 new members joining the forum since 1st January.

I have seen quite a lot of members recently with names that are not familiar but when checked they have been members for years, they could be My Humax members returning now it has died or just long term lurkers who are now forced to log in.

I guess that answers my first question, thats a very low amount so clearly Barry was too petty to send anyone here preferring to wallow in his bitterness than help his former members. Sad little man.

 

[Black Hole]

It could easily be that they were always members here but not active until MyHumax went west.

It’s a lot more new members than usual signing up.

Also, there have been no suspicious attempted sign ups from Russian Federation, etc since making the forum accessible to logged on members only, so that has meant a lot less work for me than previously, when I was typically dealing with as many as 100 attempted new member registrations per day.

That sounds like a big win.

It certainly is for me.

I'm glad I suggested it then.
Haven't noticed any nasty forum slowdowns since.

" they have been members for years, they could be My Humax members returning now it has died"

Did we just agree on something ?

More of a trickle than a flood but if you are only used to a drip I guess its worth a

Most people still using an HDR Fox T2 or any other Humax model will just use it until it breaks. Few are looking for custom firmware. The question is whether they try to repair it or just bin it.
