[QUOTE="grodog, post: 5139442, member: 1613"] Like Ari, this change doesn't bother me at all either, but I can understand where you coming from Olaf. And for that reason among many, I'm happy for Russ to make this transition from a freebie model to a business model successfully. When Eric was ready to shut the site down 8-9 years ago, he had burned out on it (as I recall): it was just too much to manage. That Russ has kept the site going for so long, in the face of such financial uncertainty is a testament to his love for the site! :D I'll second that, which is why I think it's so important to be able to start out on the right foot, and to communicate clearly how this whole change-over is going to work: I want the site to be successful, and for that to happen, Russ has to be able to make it work on his end, too.
