You're clearly not a member of enough forums. All people have done is moan to AT, in fact Chris Penny (brand director dontchaknow) hosted something of a Q&A session on a particular FB forum. To be fair, he took a raft of shit and answered the questions as best he could. The net result of all the moaning?
Fuck all.
Either play the AT game or advertise elsewhere. It will always be that way.
