My search began with me trying to find a recipe for "Mango Chicken".
It was the first site I came across in my search a few years back so I joined up only to find that the "good" information was behind a "pay to open door". I took what I could from the non pay area and was left a little disappointed so didn't bother any more. Then after a few years I went back and tried to re-enter but all attempts to recover my lost password went unattended over several requests so I eventually created a new account and actually paid the minimum for a subscription.
Again I brought it to the attention of the admins that I had 2 accounts and wanted it corrected to no avail. If they weren't bothered then why should I be? There was an email a while back announcing the addition of a "New Recipes Set", complete with new bases and recipes to come. Nope. Nothing. Never happened and requests to find out about it went unanswered.
In the mean time I found this site which actually provided good quality info and friendly interaction (mostly). I had a recipe for "Mango Chicken" within a very short time, so the invitation to part with more money for nothing was easily declined. As well as this, members are constantly told that their password has expired and needs to be changed. It's a recipe site for goodness sake. My bank doesn't insist on forced password changes.
