Is there something about maintaining a graphical user interface for soaring weather that makes people completely lose interest? This is not the first time.
The date on the link below speaks volumes.

Probably correlated with the millions of dollars that he makes from us....

I'm personally grateful for this incredibly useful tool. I get a helluva lot more than $4.50 worth of utility out of it every month. And I'll bet he has at most 2 or 300 users, not exactly enough to justify a horde of developers, support staff and salespeople.

I purchased a subscription to XCSkies in November 2013 and have not been able to log in. Despite 5 emails to XCSkies I have not had the courtesy of a response.
Has anyone had such a problem or have they closed down?

I updated my subscription this month without any issues. In the past I got hold of Chris using cgalli at xcskies dot com

Andrew et al, I wonder how you would task using this forecast?

Been trying to get that problem fixed for over a year. There has been no response from multiple attempts using several e-mail addresses known to have previously worked. The "it went to the spam folder" excuse is now very tired.
Perhaps the break point for providing any customer service is million dollar profit. But many other soaring suppliers and information providers give excellent service without the big bucks.
