There was a thread in the ST/I yesterday about the deadness, and I asked if the site goes down by the end of the year would we get our $12 refunded. A mod responded with "why don't you ask 'em", followed by a few more reponses, but I see this morning it's gone.

When I said all along, I meant from the point where they decided to do the 12.00 thing.

2-3 weeks later, half of the office staff went poof.

Sounds like something MPD would say.

You dick!

Are you serious?

I don't see the point in spying on other internet sites. Competition is out there in all forms, that is not news.
The people on that site currently posting are people that are loyal to that site, no matter what is posted on this site or other sites.
The same for every other site.

They need to get over that fact and just deal with what they've got, and not worry about anything or anybody else.
Period!

That's the problem, they like this site so much that the only thing they do each day is sit on these forums.

Natali was having too much fun one day on this site and didn't even notice Big Luey standing behind him.

That's so pathetic. Who the hell do they think they are over there? Seriously? They ran an internet forum and are now running everyone off. It's sickening to see how pompous and arrogant they are.

Ah, lurking is a two-way street. The only difference is, they use their lurking as a reason/excuse to drop the banhammer. Personally, I just use it for a laugh.....like when a certain bubble o' mucus ponders if a certain someone getting his name reinstated is just so he and his "little arrogant cohorts can giggle".

The whole INTERNETZ R SERIOUS BIZNESS drama queening is more amusing than anything to me.

zambrown wrote: Just a crazy thought here. What if the "pay-to-play" isn't what killed them, but rather the "open the gates to the masses" last summer where they made it free? They had hundreds (thousands?) of people join once it went free, but the quality of the site went down hill fast. Realizing that "going free" was a horrible mistake, they tried to rectify it by then deciding to charge everyone again. Hoping that, once again, the loyal huddlers would be the ones left and the "freebies" would leave, not wanting to pay. Clearly, it didn't work, but I wonder if that was the thought process... JMO

If that's the case then the idiocy started two years ago, not two months ago. Either way, the people running that place are horrible business people. And honestly, I've thought that ever since Bucknuts bought the place that they cared far more about the "content" than the forums. The forums were just a way to get people to the site to read the content and buy their magazine. Honestly, when you are a business trying to make money, the quality of the posters isn't your biggest concern. The volume of traffic is. The higher the site traffic, the more money you can get from advertisers. If the traffic was going down and they were losing money from advertisers, then charging $12 was a logical solution. However, it was poorly thought out and even more poorly executed. If the site was headed for extinction before the $12 charge, then they put it on the fast track when they did that.
