I have received quite a bit of negativity concerning the recent decision to start billing for the use of rcRacingEvents.No matter that it was free for almost a decade.

I recently received an email from someone demanding a .06 cent refund for an accidental overcharge of paypal fees. This is causing the to reconsider my desire to keep rcRacingEvents up and running.

I haven't raced in over two years and frankly the BS from a few certain people have me about two minutes away from taking the whole thing offline and saying good by to all of you.

I got out of boat racing because of the petty high school drama crap you guys love so much.

I'm sure that the upcoming Namba entry system will be all you wanted. They can deal with the drama for awhile. I'm tired of it.

Bill we have used your system for all of our races and do not mind the small fee. It is a great tool to promote the race as well. Hope you reconsider and keep it going. The Rochester Model Boat Club is very appreciative for your efforts. Thank you.

Bill, hopefully you will reconsider! Your site is a valuable focal point for RC boaters everywhere to see what races are upcoming and the results of past races. Thanks for what you provide. Tim
 
To me.. mistake one was not charging from the get go.. this is a VERY worthy chargeable purchase.

Anybody that feels other should be ASHAMED..

Im going to stand with you on this Bill.. hate to see it.. but I would say F-it too..

Bill,

I don't post on things like this but this one chapped my a$$.

It is very simple IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY BILL RUNS HIS SITE

DON'T USE IT!

Just remember how easy he made it for registration of your races, how easy he has made it to receive payments, how easy he made it to set up your heats, and how easy he made it to get a boat count to order trophies!

The money you save on ordering trophies for classes that didn't make your boat count should MORE than offset the

cost of using BILL'S SERVICE.

I told Bill in 2011 that he should be charging for his service. NOW PAY ATTENTION WHAT BILL SAID IT WON"T HAPPEN UNTIL

IT HAS BECOME A LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE.(He is recovering his expenses)

Bill had to get a new service provider and upgrade equipment to KEEP THE SITE UP FOR US TO USE.

STOP THE BS IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT GO BACK TO SENDING OUT FLIERS, WAITING FOR CHECKS (NO CREDIT CARDS), AND DOING IT ALL YOURSELF.

SIDE NOTE: The cost of postage, printing, and bad check fees (witch you will have). IT WILL MORE THAN OFFSET THE COST OF USING RCRACING EVENTS,COM

If you don't like it shut up and don't reck it for the rest of us!

Well said Kevin .

As previously said Bill , you efforts over the years have been very much appreciated by many, You have done a thankless amount of work and asked nothing in return. Should you chose to walk away , it would be understood for the price you have already paid to swallow crap for it. I hope you reconsider , let the haters hate and pay them no mind- its MUCH easier that way - Merry Christmas

And I will second that!!
 
Bill,

Please pm. me the names of the so called model boater individuals and I will personally contact them or someone in their area and see to it they are at the very least exposed to how things used to be before your excellent service!!!!

Thanks, John
 
Bill,

We at the Badger Model Boat Club greatly appreciate your software. We setup five races last year with RCRACINGEVENTS and had zero problems. We have three planned for this year.

There is no way our club would consider that many races without the aid of the software. We are also using it on the judges stand to score races and use the audio clock in the race program.

Your fees have never been an issue with us.

Please keep up the good work and ignore those who want their six cents back.

One of our mottos is more fun less work, and your program does both for us.
 
Bill tell them to F off and go some where else..............................................point blank game over...........................
 
Bill,

There are few, if any clubs, that has supported your site and the service you provide, more than the CMB club. I also told you many years ago, when I was using the first beta program you developed, to charge a nominal fee for the use of the software. You kindly declined to keep it free. But circumstances have changed that. However, what has not changed is that I, the CMB and many others NEED your system. PLEASE do not drop it.

I totally agree with Kevin. For those that gripe about it, just respond by telling them you do not need their business. They can go else where, PERIOD. There will always those clowns and difficult people, just ignore them.

John
 
This program is the best. We have used it at our races this year and it is the best thing that has happend for our club in a long time. It makes it so much easier having the heat sheets made up before the races. Please do not let them azz holes get to ya. KEN
 
Couple thoughts Bill

Might be time to just offer your service to those that appreciate it. I know our club will support it, even if it means financial support up front.

Let those un-appreciative, self proclaimed experts develop and support their own system. I wouldn't spend 2 seconds worrying about it.

Happy Holidays - Doug
 
I have used the service to enter several races with no troubles at all. It would be too bad if this service is gone as a result of a few complaints.
