Gleemax kind of sucked, and it didn't work right. Okay, fair enough. But it is a service people use, and telling us how awesome it is that we're going to have reduced functionality is kind of insulting.It reminds me of when Netflix announced that in order to provide better service and more functionality, they were eliminating separate queues for members of the same household. Now they reversed this decision (and it is about the only thing that makes netflix worth the extra dollar a month over blockbuster), but it was kind of insulting to word it as such.And I feel this is the same. "Hey, isn't it great we're eliminating our free content section so we can do more work on the stuff we can charge you for?" It may be a sound business decision, and we, as grown ups, can handle that it was made as such. But to tell us "this is a good thing" that we're losing functionality is an insult, and it's dishonest.Butch up and admit that it was a financial decision, that you simply didn't have the money to do Gleemax and DDI, and decided to close the one that was free. As other people have mentioned, the fact that you can't manage to put together a myspace clone and have it work when even my local NBC affiliate can does not exactly fill me with confidence towards your ability to deliver on any other web initiatives. Telling me it's good that you failed just makes you seem dishonest.</blockquote>
