You know, I participated in this thread very early on. I posted my OPINION about a change that was occurring. I did not attack anyone personally, I did NOT call the administrators/forum moderators names or question their integrity. I was not thinking of myself (gimme, gimme, gimme), I was thinking of the COMMUNITY (interact, share, bond) and what was perhaps best for it. I ADMIRE the work you all do. I think this forum has (had?) been a model for what forums should be. As you know I inquired about the software because I think it's so great and wanted to do a different forum elsewhere. If becoming a business is what's required to keep it going then fine. But, did you ever think of asking for donations? Did you ever think of dues to belong to a club? Did you ever think of the middle ground between free stuff and a full blown business - Shareware? Hey, people offer ideas, suggestions and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Accept it in the vein in which it is given. Heck, by the looks of things you all took some of the ideas and have made modifications to the store. If you don't want to hear it then act like the moderators elsewhere and close or remove the thread.
