I'm guessing they will flip out and post angry posts, then when the site comes back up they'll continue on as normal. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />They kind of did in the podcast. It's one of those weird states right now I think... For some people it's a significant decline in value... For others it's an increase... My friend on a Mac is excited.Another friend of mine is annoyed since he used to do the one month download thing.I have a yearly subscription, only ever access the CB from locations with internet access, and don't make a ton of characters, so I don't anticipate a huge change in my functioning, but at the same time, now my subscription no longer gets me downloadable content...But... since I've maintained a yearly subscription, and have until next October for this one to be up... It doesn't really impact me much.What they REALLY need to do though is start adding to the number of tools they offer pretty quickly to replace that downloadable content.If they're going to move from a digital content provider to fully a service provider, then give me more services to replace the Downloadable content my subscription once offered.From things they've said though, I get the feeling it will be offered relatively quickly.Really depends on how you look at it.  It's not like you had to pay an extra fee to get the CB. Your subscription money went towards getting the downloadable content behind the pay wall. Without that, the CB would be an empty database. (I mean you still have the current DB, but it's less useful now without the constant updates...)Before they sold you the digital content for a certain fee. Now they charge you a monthly fee for access to that content. Before they sold a product, now they sell admission.</blockquote>
