I think that's a very fair reflection of how some people (including myself) feel. It's a real shame, but that's the way it is. I feel like Beckett have driven me away. I've made nearly a thousand posts on another message board since I joined earlier this year. If I start a thread, I know dozens of people will read it within minutes. The same just isn't true here any more, and it's because people are being pushed away for the reasons you suggested above.

I'm sorry that you and others feel that way. Believe me, I had my concerns when things were done as they were, but at the same time, I did see some justification in it even if many outsiders did not. I am hopeful that in time people will see the benefit of this site, even if it costs $20 a year for what used to be free. Yeah, OPGs went up to, but most prices do (let's not even get started on Gas prices, lol). But I do believe in time, things here will change.
