Many of us came online tonight to find many changes. especially in the chat room. Most of us are very unhappy with the new changes- we can no longer chat and read posts at the same time, the format is different and we can no longer private message. now we hear about upcoming changes to include "premium" membership? wth?

Many of us have found invaluable support and advice from this site. we look forward to the daily interaction. however, i will not be paying for services on this site. I thought thats what all these ads are on here for.

I, for one, am very upset about these changes that occurred without any notifications whatsoever.

Please, reconsider these changes. why fix something that isnt broken?

All of you who dont agree with these changes please hit "like" or post to show our solidarity. Havent we been thru enough already?!

Sorry this turned out to be a rant, we are all upset right now.

Why do I feel like this is an Abbot and Costello

Act???

Who's on first

Well this sucks having to now pay for support that should be free what will be next having a tax on oxygen and public restrooms!?!

Again, it was a joke.

I do have a question for you, though. Why do you think it should be free? Not trying to be a smartass, but someone has to pay for the site, the bandwidth not to mention all the time that goes into running a site like this. Someone is paying for it, why not the users?

That said, if I was going to pay, which I am not, I have a list of improvements I'd like to see! Where did Alex go?

okay, i apologize for flipping my ****. haha. goes to show we live in a world where someone doing something like that to make money isn't completely unfathomable........

<----- MAKING POPCORN!!!

Again' date=' it was a joke.

He's probably busy beating his head against a wall, wondering how the simple mention of Premium Membership could get so blown out of proportion.

So I am four days post op on EST, five on EDT. Was it ok to eat wings, pizza and popcorn today? I only had one 40oz through a straw but I'm really tempted to pop another if it's ok.

Would you feel the same way if mark zuckerberg did that with fb? Improvements are needed but I think for support you should not need to be offered a free or paid subscription it should be free. Just my opinion.

Maybe I'm throwing this out of proportion it was just a shock that's all!?!

i agree with you. like i said, i really would pay for this site if it were reasonable, especially if they added some helpful/super cool features.

OMG THE 5 DOLLARS A DAY WAS A JOKE!

( it's actually going to be 4.99 plus tax)

LOL!!!! (This actually made me giggle out loud!)

Yup. I'm a business owner. Things cost money. My business pays my mortgage. If I give it away for free, the bank isn't going to be happy.

If I don't feel there is value in a service, I walk away. Do I love the support? Of course. Do I :NEED: it? It's nice, but my choices that led me to be a fattie certainly shouldn't cost this site owner a dime. We haven't even met yet!

Facebook is a very different business model with a much broader audience. It makes billions off of games & advertisement. Not to mention all of your information that is sold by Facebook. I'd really hate to see this turn into anything that remotely resembles Facebook.

Point is anything can happen just saying.
