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.

I cant believe that thread is gone. I wonder if all the info was kept?

Muahahaha!!!

We need to start a VST members most embarrassing moment thread.

Lol I love it!!! You guys are the best!!!!

Let's have someone write a letter about it.

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.

You got my vote....go for it...lol.

As much as your work has benefited all of us, I really do not understand why anybody would even think you would do anything to hurt this forum or it's membership.

Thank you for all you do to keep this forum operating. I leant a lot here.

I am sorry there are so many who are so ungrateful, demanding and self entitled and I hope it doesn't detract from the genuine gracefulness from others for your work.

Oh! oh! oh! can I hero worship you too Alex!!!

So saying thank you equals hero worship in your world? Around here, we just say thank you to show manners, be polite, and demonstrate that we are grateful.

You must either have a lot of heroes or be seen as very ungrateful.

You're about to get flamed.

You're about to get flamed.

Heh, no. People may attempt to flame but that shite simply has no impact on me and only serves to show others up to be immature and overly self involved :-)

I strive for authenticity. Saying thank you felt right after seeing the self entitled demonstrate their ungratefulness. So if people want to try and flame me for showing gratefullness and being true to my own principles? Good luck to them.

I still walk away happy in my self and with my choices.
