[QUOTE="Tao, post: 4362667, member: 62326"] One last post, them I am done (I am a glutton for punishment)... In the case of the message boards, which do not generate any revenue, they can't evaluate their worth in that manner. The only objective way they could evaluate it is how many people love it (pssh... not likely, but indirectly measurable by the site traffic), or how many people get upset when it is not available. A large portion of my program was cut because no one that mattered saw any value in it. It didn't make any money, and customer goodwill isn't really visible on a spreadsheet. Yes, you can definitely vote with your wallet. However, that kind of complaint is only a "Yay" or "Nay" type of feedback, and largely it amounts to "do you want this product and products like it?" It doesn't give you any real influence in changing a product you like or the specific direction of those changes. If you want to have direct input in a specific direction of a product, well-reasoned complaining is your best recourse. [/QUOTE]
