We have more active IP sites now than we've had in years. The process for acquiring an account, uploading and updating files is easier than it has ever been before. Organizations are being dealt with directly rather than us just talking to the web guy who then disappears, the organization then being unaware they had a site on Chebucto at all. Organizations are supporting Chebucto with much-needed funds more than ever before. More community groups signing up with us means we are serving our purpose as a community resource. And, as I said, PLENS left in 1997, prior to any of these changes coming in. Their time with us was born, lived, and died under the IP way that you are waxing nostalgic for, not the way we do it now.
