Geez, you guys, look:
This is a FREE SITE for most of you. We DON'T *have to* PAY to be here, to have an account, to post, etc. Yeah, I can understand that the ads may bite, and there are some changes, but look at it from the other side: they bought a site with the intent to MAKE MONEY from it.
I don't know the new owner's, but I can tell you they must have a *lot* of patience, b/c dude has repeatedly said *check the faq* before you post about something, yet people keep going over the same stuff. If it's not in the FAQ, cool, I understand that, but, just like so many other things, people are jumping right in w/out reading the instructions. And we *all* know how that can turn out. And they have to listen to everyone *complain* and not offer constructive criticism, and there *is* a difference. I feel they are flexible enough to give us input on this site (how many sites do you belong to where the members are going to make the banner for the page?), so let us help them shape the site so that everyone, including the owners, can benefit from it.
And yeah, this is a major overhaul, and there will be some glitches. GIVE THEM TIME to work them out. We as community demand a lot for next to nothing. And even the paying members, give them time to work this out. For everyone complaining about this that and the other, and not approaching this thread with a little bit of humility and understanding, imagine if they started charging a monthly fee, or increased the package prices? What would you do? The only thing constant is *change*, so let's give this a chance before everyone starts ripping it apart. If you think you can do better, buy a server, get hosting, set everything up, and then let everyone know. If not, sit back, relax, and let's not make mountains out of molehills, mmmmmmmmmmmkay?
And if you didn't have a voice, how would you be posting
