[QUOTE="FoolishFrost, post: 1854186, member: 24319"] I think that I failed to make my point clear: I'm not interested in semantics of RPG, d20, or Cornerstone... Yes, I used those words, and yes, they may have been mis-discriptive... But the point is, without En-World, would we sell even a small percentage of the PDF products we have? Really? I've heard a lot of people saying "We'd just go someplace else..." Ok, but in the time, probably around a year. Longer if you consider that if enough of us wander into another site from here, we'd crash their bandwidth in just days. Longer as the users of this site argued over who the successor would be. Longer still as some of the sites that that are chosen turn out not to be high-enough quality to support a community of this size and shape. And during this time, sales would take a frightening drop. I would bet money on it. As it is, this nasty little possibility is not going to happen anytime soon. I was just pointing out that as d20 publishers, ENWorld is not just a convenent spot to blather on about our wares. It's a community that the owners have allowed us into as a service to their users. See how long our practices would last at wizard's boards... That was my point, and that's why I offer thanks to not only the people at ENW, but also the people who come here looking for news and comradery. It's the whole that makes this place worthwhile.
