That's what happens when people take and do not give...

Another great resource gets burned out

sounds like a move to WP or android is in order

I was just looking at his site this morning and idly wondered how he hadn't been hit with a lawsuit yet...what happened?

[dfb8085]

what are us att users going to do now except pay up . I be damn if i give att another cent and i work for them. they get enough of my paycheck every month as is

[Mama2Many]

. This sucks......

I wonder if you could use the playbook to do an OTA. (similar to localbar)

You could always side load bridge as well.

[mikelcal]

I think the bridge update was just for OS 7.1 that is why it's not up

[stevedee]

I found out about 11:30 EST when I went looking for the new bridge OTA. Not a big user, but he sure came through about a year ago to u/g my curve 8330 so I could get bridge to function.
Probably just frustrated at the unthanking morass of those who surf on in - too bad, I really appreciated his efforts.

All the best to him.

What was the benefit of this anyway? Something with AT&T subscribers?

His entire site is down.

The capitalization of the word FUN gives me pause though. Heres hoping its an early Aprils fools joke! (though i suspect its far more likely sarcasm)

Yes the AT&T version of bridge would not allow Bridge internet (required tethering plan)

[ekafara]

I thing it has something to do with someone stealing his work.

"@rr_yy: To protect my work... I just closed Your BlackBerry Home Page I don't want someone to copy all OTAs and steal my work... GBye @rroyycom"

Wow talk about gouging!

Hopefully rroyy is willing to help those who are able to set up their own local OTA's because I can definitely see how an additional tethering plan would people off!

[Foreverup]

A sad sad day indeed

Whoever might be or planning to do this that rroyy claims should be drugged out into the street

"To protect my work... I just closed rroyy.com I don't want someone to copy all OTAs and steal my work... GBye @rroyycom"

[neuroben]

Crap. Just up on his site to donate a couple of hundred. He saved my bridge.

[RoseBud68]

I know RROYY would not lets use down. He just updated his Thread.

[Sith_Apprentice]

He is tweeting that he will close on the 31st unless he changes his mind. He also lists the person that is stealing his OTAs.

[piman02]

Well this clearly sucks for us that have AT&T. Now what are we gonna do?

[howarmat]

He updated that thread then shut the site down.....

Wow, thats just unbelievable. Thanks for the info.

[kbz1960]

Maybe if people actually donated rroyy might find another way to help the att people. Can't blame him.

I understand what you mean, but the guy expects too much recognition - especially when all he is doing is making things more available (for AT&T users for example).

[westcoaststyle]

A huge blow to us AT&T users.

[Sith_Apprentice]

I understand what you mean, but the guy expects too much recognition - especially when all he is doing is making things more available (for AT&T users for example).

He isnt expecting any recognition, he is doing it to help people. He doesnt have to create the OTAs, and he posts them here for the largest userbase to see. All he wants is to not have people take his OTAs and post as their own.

[Sith_Apprentice]

What a crybaby attitude. It was never his to begin with and you don't put anything on the net without expecting people to steal. Is it stealing if you never owned it in the first place?

He did the work to create the OTA, that work is indeed his. If someone takes what he did and then puts it as theirs, they are stealing and invalidating his efforts.
