Paying and this site

I believe that if we need support for this surgery we should not have to pay for it. By paying to use this site will open up the flood gates for other free sites to start charging people too. If you start doing this now it will set a dangerous precedent for other sites to start charging their users for a service that is only beneficial for them. I know people dont like complainers but i feel that my voice needs to be heard.

Yes I'm sure if you'd like a premium membership the will be a fee. However if you chose not to subscribe to premium you would still have full access to the forum just not the premium features. In all likelihood standard membership(free) would not change much from what you experience now.

Can we at least bring back the right bottom corner chat room for people on the website. And just a thought change the color of the site every once in a while.

This site is not a public service. Someone has to pay for it. You want extra features? Well it costs. Do people really expect the site owners to do this out of the goodness of their hearts regardless of the impact on their pockets?

This is how the world works.

It is a public site doing something to assist people therefore it acts as a public service. Not extra features because the chat is already included just saying.

Being a website that is openly accessible to the public does not automatically create a public service. Having site owners who want to create something of benefit to people does not automatically require those owners to be philanthropic.

You appear to see your right to have this service as being greater than their right to at least cover costs. Do you know what it costs to operate and host a site like this? Particularly with features such as photo uploads and chat?

I suggest that if you want a free site for sleeve recipients with all the bells and whistles that you seek here, then start one for yourself. Out of your own financial and intellectual reserves. You think others should have it for free? Then first ask yourself whether you would give it for free.

Sheesh i sense hostility here:( hey guys don't trip...honestly i would pay the "premium" i mean its a nice site minus all the riff wrath lol and besides Im sure quite a few of you guys have talked to each other enough there's Facebook instagram mfp shoot telephones...u can still get support thru those things really not a big deal tho i see y a few are alil shook up :) brush it off get the facts move forward and relax!!
