I'm really amazed at how some business owners conduct business, how does one expect to prosper with
business ethics like this. I've owned my own business now for more than 6 years and I've found that one big thing is to have respect and a genuine concern for the field your in and the customers you service.
If this man has a web-site for this hobby wouldn't it go to reason that he would respect the artists of the community?  That site has been around for awhile and I'm trying to figure out how becuase I wouldn't last a year in business treating the people in my community that way.  Maybe some day he'll have a wake-up call.

For everyone who tried to get some of the banners from that page in the past...
He has replaced them and they are now:
- Simware, 3x
- fsfreeware.com (probably his new source of stuff-soon-to-be-prated)
- E-Dimensional

For more info on the guy himself...
In the past he had times when he couldn't update because he was abroad. His primary profession WAS Bus driver a few years ago. That was BEFORE the demise of that great FS FTP server (ftp.flight-sim.iup.edu) ant it's later mirror (IFSA) which was his previous (free) file provider.

Mondadori had mirrored a large part of the files of that server, so he went over to that server for his file providing needs. In the first months (year??) it was a free service... it sucked, but it was free. late they went over to a payed premium service and a limited free service (just as flightsim.com did)
