Catalyst: Residential High-Rise At 1475 Texas Ave.
BigFootsSocks replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Downtown
Fair enough, I'd like to see this kind of dialogue continue, and I apologize for my uncouth behavior. I will add this so that everyone can see it; these as redirects were happening on other sites I use as well. Users of those sites also experienced the same thing so I'm assuming HAIF and those sites use similar advertising software that went haywire last week.- 911 replies

Catalyst: Residential High-Rise At 1475 Texas Ave.
BigFootsSocks replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Downtown
I can deal with the ads that pop up and give the "close ad to proceed to page" thing even tho it's annoying as hell, but that, on top of the ad that doesn't disappear at the bottom of the page, and these redirects are so weird. I love this forum and the community, but let's be honest here, it's not particularly big. It's odd that the change in leadership has decided to profit as much as possible off a small user base. Are they trying to get as much profit as possible before a majority of the users leave, or did they just not have a great plan in place when they took over? I dealt with this for awhile, and I've only been posting here for a few years, but one would think that there'd be more transparency from the ownership on what's going on with the site and their plans for its future than spamming its user base with ads. At least Moderator used to interact with the users here.- 911 replies

lol ok Edit; that's a post from awhile ago, but the "isn't unstable on mobile" is hilarious. Ever since TheSwitch, the site feels like a nostalgia trip to DialUp level speeds.- 911 replies

Catalyst: Residential High-Rise At 1475 Texas Ave.
BigFootsSocks replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Downtown
Idc if the mods delete this, I've mentioned this so many times and I'm told constantly by the HaifCares account that it's fixed. It is, but it's only for a month or two. New Ownership can you please stop making people want to leave this site? And while I'm on my rant, make the mobile site useable. It's awful.- 911 replies

It took me 5 tries to post this. Im getting redirected on every haif page. This is not the first time and it's just ridiculous that this is what this site has become. Pathetic.- 911 replies

Catalyst: Residential High-Rise At 1475 Texas Ave.
BigFootsSocks replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Downtown
IDK HOW THIS ENDED UP IN THE WRONG THREAD but it was supposed to be in the Rusk demo, but because of the stupid spam ads on this site it messed up. Just gonna point out that this only only happened once the site was taken over by new ownership. Guess it has something to do with that new Houston "Covering Katy/Cypress/etc blog that received its own sub in the various forums. Would be very strange if there was a connection since that was never disclosed to its users, but if they're gonna allow these kind of pathetic ad redirects continue I shouldn't be surprised. Haif sold out.- 911 replies

So is this still being demo'd according to the title, or is it time for an update? Also, off topic but is anyone getting redirected to ad pages on mobile? It's so irritating and automatically opens the App Store to download some bs app- 911 replies

Hope they finish early. It's insane that they just cut off a walk-way for the students going to and from the Purple Line, without any notice, and without providing a small walkway alongside the construction site.

They found that massive basin yes, but isn't it in a pretty remote area? I would assume they're still figuring out the financials of this situation and whether it's worth it to start fracking in the near future.

Texas Tower: Office Skyscraper At 845 Texas Ave.
BigFootsSocks replied to democide's topic in Downtown
They're planning on using it for parking correct? It could be any number of factors; every contract has a set number of days and maybe this one is almost up, maybe said contract had encentives for finishing early and the owners think it's financially beneficial to finish early, maybe Hines wants this done asap so they can get parking revenue and submitted a change order, or yes, they could get ready to start development on a tower, but i highly doubt it would happen this soon considering the huge supply of office space on the market.- 2,216 replies

Generation Park: Mixed-Use In Northeast Harris County
BigFootsSocks replied to lockmat's topic in Going Up!
Yeah but imagine the guilt that comes with trying to walk into a meeting at an office at Redemption Square! "Hello sir I'm looking for company that provides a service I need" "WELL HAVE YOU REDEEMED YOUR SOUL TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR YET" Honestly though, McCord is 0/2 on naming schemes.- 192 replies

Looks like a judge issued a default summary judgement stating Texas Centra is indeed a railroad company...as if that Catch-22 argument would ever hold up.
