    They asked and I replied. "I've said it before I'll say it again. Too many ads destroy the articles. No comments destroyed our community. I have stopped writing here and wouldn't recommend this site to my worst enemy."

      The polls have annoyed me a little because I am always unable to access any other part of my account until I answer the poll, including mobile and desktop (2 different desktop computers and servers). Ho hum.

      So where do you write?

        I'm on Medium now along with quite a few other HP writers.

          Hi, lady! I'm glad to know that because I rarely visit HP anymore. I've missed all the camaraderie that we had for so many years, and I haven't written anything in five years. I really hate the interruptions from the ads.

            Look for me on Medium. I think the subscription is $5 per month or $50 per year. So much good content and interactive. Worth it.

              So do you get paid? I mean is the fee worth it for you?

                I'm not there for the money, but I'm getting 3 figures every month. If a story is "boosted" you can earn a considerable amount in a month.

                  Wow, that's quite a bit, but you have a good subject matter so I can see why. I just write about whatever suits my fancy. I think Bill Holland pretty well cornered the market on my area of expertise.

              I'll check it out. I have so little time to write anymore because of my husband's illness and trying to market a house in an old neighborhood where very few people want to move.

    How could we possibly recommend it? For all those reasons.

    I don't think it matters how we answer the survey, to be brutally honest.

    I think TAG changed the layout of HP to save money and they're not going to go back now.

      Then why bother to poll? Just one of those feel-good exercises?

        A hangover from the days when they paid attention to feedback and there was a rapport between the writers and management.

        There are features of this site that no longer serve much purpose but they've just not bothered to get rid of.

          I think that the abolishment of the community manager post (the last person to hold it was Samantha Cubbison) was a strong indicator that TAG was doing away with the old relationship and a turning point.

    So true, it has been a complete disaster since it was sold.

    What's the point of this latest poll, seeing as how our opinions on HP's headlong decline have been totally ignored for too long already?

      I agree."If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question."

    I never understood why they took away comments. It kept the article updated and relevant a bit whenever people commented. Now, I had it set to approve comments before being seen to keep out the trash, but this was a relatively simple task to perform. I often responded to many comments as well.
