Yup , got my tin foil hat and I'm ready for 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jerry, It's alright, I didn't take it the wrong way. I take all comments negative and positive. I appreciate your honesty. I'm flattered. I've had many people tell me this over the years but to tell you the truth... as long as people support my advertisers I really don't want to ever have to charge anything. I have very strong convictions when it comes to what the Internet should be. It, in my opinion, is a place that should be free... it's OUR Internet. There are features and services that I could hold back for a 'premium' version but I want everyone to be able to use everything I create. What I want from you, more than your money, is for you to spread the word... that really is the best thing you can do for TestMy.net. TMN has completely grown by word-of-mouth. Keeping with this model and morals forces me to make the site better... to built the best possible service I can. If I don't, people aren't going to tell anyone. --- so far that mindset has been doing the trick. 6.12 and now 12.9 will remain in their current states. They have both been placed in archive status and only receive absolutely necessary tweaks to keep them running correctly. Sometimes server technologies and programming standards change and it requires minor tweaks to those versions... but the core programming for the versions I place in archive will remain functioning the the same as it did when it was finalized. So you can be assured that the stability will remain. TestMy.net itself will always move forward. I understand that people become used to certain aspects of the site. Again, that's why I offer my older versions... to try to keep my die hard fans comfortable when I make huge changes. If I didn't progress the site the features that you've come to love would have never been created... this happens every time I make major changes. People hit me up with concerns but then... they end up converting their mindset over to the new design and liking it more in the end. I know this from my analytics. Trust me Jerry, once you get used to the changes you'll realize that it's totally for the better. Pages transition better, content is easier to read and understand and the client-side programming behind everything is compliant with the most up-to-date HTML5 standards. I truly couldn't be happier with the way it's turning out, I hope in the end you'll agree. Until that time, you're free to switch it up to the version you're most comfortable with. Thank you for all the kind words. After your first post I wasn't really expecting that. I appreciate your support and I'm sure my moderators appreciate the praise as well... they are totally awesome and have really been a huge help to me over the years. I truly appreciate all the time and effort that my past and present moderators, admins, secretary, news anchors and sophist users have put into this community... I'm glad that others see this too. I build the speed tests but everyone who has ever posted here has built the community... that includes YOU! Cheers! - Damon
