[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5139189, member: 13703"] You're not alone Grodog. I was totally oblivious to the fact that when EN World switched to monthly subscriptions it became a for-profit venture. I can understand Morrus wanting to get something out of all the time he puts in to the website. At the same time, I can't help but feel that it takes away a bit of the "community" feel of the site (whether or not that is the case or not, that's just how I feel). I can't really explain why I have that feeling either, I just do. :erm: Maybe it is because I felt that previously EN World existed just for gamers to interact with other gamers. Now EN World still probably has the exact same goals as before, but it also has a goal of generating revenue above and beyond the costs of running the site. I totally get that Morrus has put in a lot of hours and money in to the website over the years for little to no benefit, yet I still can't help but feel a little different about the site compared to the way I felt before.
