I agree, that sucks but it should be backed up somewhere. Now, just how do we contact the webmaster of ICC.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
I'm thinking that unless ICC reverts back to a user friendly Bulletin Board,
they will soon become just another "non-user friendly" site that the
members won't want to visit or use any longer. Shame on them!
As we all know, ICC has re-designed their website to be less friendly,
...less accessible, ...harder to navigate and restricted to paid members
only! What a load of crap ! Just more evidence that ICC is
'circling the drain'.
Major thanks to Jeff for providing this site to all of the "former" ICC
forum members.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
I find it humorous that only 12 discussions were started last week, I believe that 12 discussions could be created in a day....without censorship.
FWIW, I removed ICC as a webpage that would automatically load when I started the Internet Explorer.
Once again.... I think the signature states it all... It has been somewhat modifed due to lack of information being presented before the rug was jerked out from under us. Instead of paying for a membership on a regular basis, our office has now decided to only pay for a memebership when coode books are requried as the state adopts new cycles of codes.
Before, I actually felt like I was recieving something for my money - even if it was free to the general public. I bet that the dollars go way down as less people visit the site. How many times in posting would somebody suggest a book, a seminar, etc. that ICC could profit from.
Sorry about the long post but I am still angry.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
Talked to the webmaster today. Not his fault. icc "leadership" decision. What a way to run a railroad. Kick all the passengers off and still expect to make money? Emailed the board of directors. Mr Zubai did email back. I hope to talk to him in Baltimore but expect it will not do any good? JP

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
Not happy at all. Man, I turn my back for three seconds and everything goes to schiat. What is ICC even thinking with this. Too bad we lost all that discussion we had over there.
Actually another site I was on did the very same thing. After he got it going for about 5 years, he went to a paid membership only. Of course he has 5 years of discussions for those paid members to refer back to. Now we have to start over again.
Well, thanks Jeff, whoever you are.

I am skeptical, but optimistic that the legacy ICC bulletin board may not be a total loss.

I received the same reply - Word for Word! It's basically a form letter via e-mail to all who contact the webmaster complaining/asking about the site.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
I think the most telling part of that is "we invite you to join. Here's a link for membership information: http://www.iccsafe.org/Membership/Pages/Join.aspx.
Has anyone checked to see if there is a way to 'join' that doesn't involve a fee?
I did finally manage to get logged on to the new ICC BB and was wholly disappointed. Very few threads had been started. Difficult to navigate. Couldn't find a way to view 'active topics' as a page.
Other than appearance, I find this board to be much more similar to the old format, easier to navigate, not to mention a lot more fun. Maybe that was the ICCs' problem... we were having too much fun?
74 members and counting. Not bad for the first few days in existence.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
Of course they invite us to join. Without us they will have no reason to keep their new and not improved discussion board up and running.
I really have no intention of paying $75 or $100 for that service and I don't think my village will pick up that tab in this current economic situation.
Man am I glad this place was created. Hopefully, in time, we will have a good "base" to look code issues up.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
Well I've arrived, thanks to our uncle and RJJ. I tried for a couple of days to get onto the new ICC site, they wanted me to renew my membership yet their site registration process wouldn't take my money, I finally sent them a credit card number by E-mail and I got on a couple of days later. Now that I'm there I can't seem to find anything going on, apparently to do anything you have to join an active ongoing live discussion?
I get the feeling that we are not welcome there anymore, I think they are going in a direction that can't take criticism. I think the whole concept behind "Performance Codes" is approving anything that money can buy.

Re: icc: Those dirty buggers!!!!!!
ConArb,
About time you showed up; we've probably lost George Roberts, Hurricane, and bunch of Architects and Engineers; that aren't members of ICC.
Take a look around; we have all kinds of neat features; and 98 members in just a few days.
OOPS, 113 members and your Number 100.
Welcome home,
Uncle Bob

113 in just a few days. Not too bad. We need to attempt to contact as many people as possible to get them over here.

I posted a thread on the Mike Hole Electrical Forum,
under the N.E.C. thread, directing people over to
our new home. A few have sent me private
messages to request the URL of this new web site.
The thread that I posted is named: " A New
