I purchased RSD in May, the problem is the difficulty in migrating my old VSD sites over. I haven't created a single RSD site and already I am being asked to dish out more dollars to get an upgrade. At one point I ask about VSD, to RSD and was told they were 2 completely different programs. I agree with that but, why drop VSD then, oh RSD replaces it. That is one way to force folks to upgrade and then find out they will have to start from scratch and recreate their Sites.
Not Cool.
I liked the old Coffee Cup software where upgrades were free and it was more about the offerings then the bucks.

Looks like it's all about the money.

Hi Chuck,
Coffeecup announced the change in upgrade policy a few years ago. They have still give quite a few free upgrades. You don't have to go away from VSD as the app still works. The issue is that your site will be brutally punished by search engines for not be responsive. Cooffeecup's goal has always been to provide easy to use apps at a reasonable price. I remember when I used VSD for the first time, I was so lost. I started messing with it and figured things out. The same is true for RSD. It's such a powerful tool and offers so much more then VSD could have ever hoped to. I still haven't used all of the features. I hope you stay with CC and this great forum.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
