I didn't see any member requests for the previously nice forum to be bollocksed up by the new owners. It was unceremoniously foisted upon us without any consultation with the members.
However, it seems a good scheme to mess it up and then ask for donations to "fix it".
What assurances do we have that any donations will go toward fixing the unrequested damages anyway? I'm pretty damn sure that they already have a helluva lot more money than I do. Do they plan to pay me for my posts?
