GMRSLive Shutting Down - Sept 30th

[WSEG522]

Looks like the folks over at https://www.gmrslive.com are turning things off on the 30th! 

[Guest]

redacted -

due to the horse not responding to the beating

That was discussed earlier beginning with this post:

Don’t we have enough of these posts? This is why I wish I could block whole threads.

I have to agree that this horses has been beaten so much it should be minced meat by now. I read the statement on the gmrslive website and that is just one person's opinion on the matter.

There are a lot of different threads with a lot of posts and for the past several months the whole linking subject has been discussed a lot.  It’s just impossible to see them all.

Jeep Creeps don't drive Jeeps, they wheel them.

Well, he certainly called out NotARubicon on that.  

The parties over.  Lets leave this to die.

There are other options.  But no one seems to want to go that route.  Easiest is change frequencies and bring the nodes up on ham. 

Ham repeaters can be closed, as in if you don't have a valid GMRS license and were part of the GMRS linked groups, your not allowed on the new ham repeaters.

I don't know exactly what they're doing but I can tell it involves linking repeaters to internet access (nodes?).  I didn't see any listing on the site but that may be my content blocking interfering.  Wouldn't being listed there be telling everyone you're breaking the rules?  (I mean the repeater owner not the site owner.)

Managing/coordinating digital traffic is not a crime.  Whoever operates such digital systems in GMRS would be actual persons breaking rules.  Yes, being listed would be opening a door but if personal identifiable information is not listed, than not much is being revealed.

Screw that.  This site should not be promoting breaking the rules.

But what if said rules are unjust and amoral?

They aren't (in this case at least).  I support FCC's strict prohibition on linking.  Stand alone repeaters are enough.  If they were to allow some linking it should be done by special permit only.

You didnt answer the question. Why are you afraid to answer the question?

[UncleYoda]

I responded the way I wanted to (I don't care if it satisfies you).  If you think you have good justification for linking, present your case to the FCC.  As far as unjust, the only reg that comes close to that in my opinion is not allowing base stations to use repeaters.

Thanks for confirming: Afraid to.. or incapable of, honestly answering a simple question..

Huh, is there any possibility that you can explain what you are trying to convey? I'm kinda less than a bright person and I am not a college boy and I barely got my high school diploma and I had to go to summer school to get the diploma. So, what the hell are you trying to say? What regulation are you referring to?
