That free site exists because they scraped data off of Dima and copied everything. Even down to small things we noticed. Someone else is trying to take waffles years of effort for self-gain. Sad really.
Two; perhaps it may have been bad form, but there's nothing illegal about it.
Three; how can it be self-gain when it's free?? That's an oxymoron.

This has been fixed. We're now out of sandbox and in production, you can subscribe.
Now since this is a paid service, will subscribers be treated as customers? In particular, will model submissions be considered in a timely fashion? In some cases in the past, it felt like one had to beg repeatedly for many months, and sometimes years.

If you already used DIMA before it was locked, then you already know what it offers (I'm in and it's still the same). If you think that other place offers the same thing as DIMA, then you just have to make a decision. If money is the deciding factor, then the decision is simple.

I'm not a lawyer, but read the fine print at the bottom of this page. Some could argue that it was more than "bad form".
Three; how can it be self-gain when it's free?? That's an oxymoron.
Oh I don't know. Being able to create a website that someone wanted to create but it required some "bad form" actions to create is a form of gain, no? Maybe that other site is a free site for right now. The moment that site becomes something other than free, sometime in the distant future when most of us have forgotten about this episode, I'm sure there will be at least one person who hadn't forgotten and will be sure to get a cut of the financial reaping plus other mandatory fees.

Hi, nice to see we have the option to have dima back - that is great. 99USD is a bit pushy, so i have a question/Suggestion, similar to Flightradar etc.
If people 'help' i.e. upload fotos, correct informations - in general, help to maintain and improve the DB - couldn't there b some kind of reward system be implemented? For example, if i upload a missing Foto i get 1 credit (if it is approved and correct of course). Or i add a missing model, 5 credits... etc.
And then we could use credits to pay the annual fee? For example 1 credit is worth 1 USD in fee, so anyone who would get 99 credits would have free access one year? Of course you could also put up a maximum of 50% or something...
