the topic explains all. Noticed that they removed all D-link users... monopoly? /me curious what is Sorenson's next move
Before, D-link users tend to put their IP address in the comments sections, now they dont have any kind of comment and kinda set restrictions on how much you can say via their predefined field (ex. preferred contact info before calling, time can/cant call, etc. Go and see for yourselfideafspy said:removed all D-link user??
Dennis said:As much as I dislike Sorenson myself, they did realize that owning the site would be a great advantage. It's my understanding that the site was previously owned and operated by a Sorenson subcontractor anyway, so it's not like it was meant to be used by non-Sorenson people anyway.
You'll never catch me using Sorenson to make VRS calls. I'll boycott them until they allow VP-100 users to be able to use other VRS providers in emergencies, when the system is down, etc.
Alex said:I don't see anything wrong if a company buys out another company, in this case if Sorenson now owns DeafVP, and the fact that they can do whatever they want with the site. I understand if some get upset because of the changes made when a site is given to a different owner, though.
Yes, I get exactly what you're talking about, that's why I said that I can understand if some are upset with the changes being made now that Sorenson is running DeafVP. It shouldn't come as a surprise, though, to see that Sorenson, or any other business for that matter, is trying to eliminate competition. In this case, Sorenson decided to remove and disallow D-Link information from being displayed on DeafVP. It happens.NightwarriorJin said:I dont have a problem with them owning DeafVP, but I have problem with their "practice" and I am having hard time understanding their vision... is their vision more into business than the deaf community. I feel they are more into business, unlike other VRS which they are half/half or more into deaf community. You get what I am talking about?

PhatMan said:I agree as long as they let people know that they own it. Most people think it is an independent site. More Sorenson trickery at work here.
I spoke with someone who knows about it and he said it is not true that Sorenson bought it for 1.2 millions. It was in thousands dollars.qwerty123 said:deafvp.com was bought out for 1.2 million bux from eric simons of texas.
phatman that is true statement.
