Well the price of popularity, is both good and bad. I think it is only a matter of time before the cost of a community becomes proportional to the number of members. Hopefully the cost to each will remain small. We pay for every day of our life, one way or another, we all live and learn every day. I did not realize that there even were mass downloaders out there, and I would think that the use of an accelerator made it easier on the server, not harder so there is room for everyone to learn from each other. I learned that some of the accelerators have secret programs that cause advertisements and such...so I have avoided them cause I am leary of the secret stuff...it may be that there is nothing to this secret stuff...but I am a bit superstitious too ....I just appreciate the time and energy that goes into these forums, public and private websites offering free stuff...and I am sorry that along with everything else the cost of having a site goes astronomical...soon we all will not be able to afford electricity so it will be even harder to justify our hobby...all we can hope for is good old human ingenuity in fixing the problems....!
