Speaking of which. @joet I think you should consider making export ratings free for everybody. Least you can do is allow people to download their ratings without giving money to AbInbev*. Would be nice if we could download place ratings as well, but somehow I doubt that will happen.
*Of course if you still have something to say in this thing. Hope it’s not too late.
This keeps making me think…no matter where the site goes, it really did have one great impact. I neglected my childhood advice of my parents and started talking to strangers on the internet. Then I started hanging out with them. I can only say that this site, no matter where it heads has provided me with friendships among some damn fine people both near and far and I’m looking forward to meeting more this summer. The people really are the best part of all of this.
It’s not as fun. I tried that one already =/
And I appreciate that the announcement was “exciting”
“Beer will outlast humanity” 
JoeT’s strong stances against corn syrup is what ultimately sealed the deal.
@joet is there any chance of removing the paywall to the “compile ratings” functionality in our profiles? At least for EU citizens, as we have a right to data portability thanks to GDPR regulations.
Currently I am unable to use this as I did not renew my premium membership, and since bugs fixes and improvements have not been very forthcoming, or in some cases ignored, I can’t see this changing any time soon. Yet I would like to have a copy of my data in full for my own personal use.
Thanks.
Already started… OK, it maps (in the future, in theory) all 3 sites onto an internal id, because why have 3 identities when you can have 4! Not ready for even friendly beta testing yet, alas. (Untappd having ascii strings as their identifiers was a bit of a hedgehog in the road.)
Oh, premies - download a backup of your ratings, you know, just in case.
Do it. I’m up to 500 on paper, and 1500 on a text file on my phone (which is of course much easier to search to detect repeats)
Cheers and congrats @joet!
As one stated on FB about Untappd:
"A caricature but as I said on another post: “Untapped it is clearly oriented to tickers, the hypsters and worse the new NEpseudogeek that rates 4.5 to juice from the bright of tank but for a crazy mild a 2.”
+100
Please make one that transfers reviews and closest rating to Untappd. I’d fucking love that.
Trouble is that Untappd only allows 75 character ratings and all RB rates have to be more than 75 characters. So, by transferring to you become another Untappd ticker.
This is the biggest pile of fluffy feel-good corporate dogshit I’ve read in quite a while. Forget the money; I understand that. But you’ve sold out your character in an effort to rationalize your decisions, and it’s embarrassing to read.
255 on the app. But there’s no click on my reviews so who gives a shite?
I think this is a harsh take. You really cannot forget about the money. Money causes people to sometimes make decisions that would normally be easy to rationalize into decisions that are agonizing. I suppose you were looking for Joe to just say,
“hey, I got a kid going into college in a few years and I’ve been putting in countless hours of time I could be spending with my kid for this site. The work and time commitment has been really stressful for me, and I need to sell this beast I cannot deal with any more. Unfortunately, the only buyers are subsidiaries of BIG BEER, so this is where I am at to save my stress level and to recoup financially for my years of underpaid hard work. If there were other offers on the table from more neutral investors, I would consider them. Unfortunately, there aren’t.”
I think we all would have appreciated a real statement like this.
It actually allows 140-character ratings these days. However, it’s still not enough.
What’s the new investment? You say “access to greater resources” but what’s the capex? What you describe is a sale.
