I was checking Google to see if it would come up with a link to the SSN and I saw the clip and link to the QS group. So glad I saw it and could read what others have been experiencing in regard to the disappearance of the site.
I did get the email from Neil stating the server crashed and that he would be building a new one for premium members. That's the last I heard from them (him)
Two days ago I was able to bring up a different version (newer?) of the site but when I clicked on Classes I only got info on Sharon's live classes info...no video link!
This is the 3rd year I've been a member, maybe 4th, and I've always learned so much from the videos. I have ADD and it's more difficult for me to learn in a classroom setting, esp since I've gotten older. The videos are great for people like me.
I had some personal help from Neil 2 yrs ago when I tried to renew and the info kept being blocked. He was very helpful (by phone yet!) and helped me work through the glitch. I also received emails answers when I needed to inquire about something.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the negative responses or lack there of, that everyone is experiencing. I actually had been thinking about inquiring about getting a refund since I, too, feel I'm not getting what I paid for..$140.00 is a lot of money!
Perhaps the quilting community, in general, needs to know what's happening here.
Neil may own the site but Sharon has given her work and name to all of it and also receives income from her products sold on the site.
If there is a "family problem" that's a personal thing, the details of which I don't need to know. However, when it is affecting their business and preventing paid members from accessing the materials promised, they need to address that in a very timely manner, read: NOW!
If I have any other helpful information to report I will post it here.
