  That's my point. Anyone still here is only here because of addiction/habit, that will eventually wane. Yahoo answers sucks so bad and IIN is still losing good users to it. FYI - you are treasured, Shrunk ;)

I'm not sure if this is worth a penny of my money anymore.

Lol fuck no. Most of the things on the Internet are free. I wouldn't pay for a site like this.

  You wouldn't pay because there are no pictures on naked men here.

No, it adds up, isn't it like 50 dollars a year,
I'm kinda here from habit but mostly because there's a lot of users I like on here.

Problem is people are leaving like it's a sinking ship, a lot of people who are staying aren't happy, or maybe it's that the people who aren't happy are more vocal, I think it's also that the people who aren't happy are those who've been here a long time and have seen it change, I've heard a few people say that this site goes through ups and downs but I'm not sure if there's ever been such a general dissatisfaction with the site, I have a horrible picture in my head of this place being a ghost town in the not too distant future

  And I hate the New system, I would prefer the old system just sped up a bit so everything wasn't dumped and half forgotten about, now it's so many incest stories ect, I wasn't going to mention it as its been talked about enough but I do think it's a big part of the problem

    You mean like...getting the people you are paying to do a job to...do their job? Rather than just cutting their workload at the expense of your clientelle?
    
    Sounds fucking crazy to me, dude.
    
    Just like telling people to report an innocuous post, then when people tell you they actually are interested in that sort of post saying "ok, it's up to you" then deleting it anyway. That would TOTALLY neber happen here :P

      Unfortunately, Udi seems inventive entrepreneur turned blatant business man. He's losing touch with us as a whole. He's a good guy still, he just isn't as invested in the site or the people on it.

Well you've pissed someone off, OP. You've had two posts deleted in 10mins. Guess that's easier than dealing with it...push it under the rug. Who cares what your customer base thinks, right?

    Yup. Cos it's smart business to kill your customer base off in an attempt to expand, rather than improve and keep them while adding more...

I'd be happy if it worked. It doesnt work. So no, I'm not happy. And I stopped being a cash cow for this place long ago, and it has deteriorated since.

  All right, another complaint I've already placed and that has been completely ignored. I have only received 25% of the messages/notifications from this story (15 out of the 60 comments). It has been mentioned directly to TheManagement and has not been addressed yet.

      I don't recall this, but I'll take another look. It's quite odd that you'd get notifications for some comments but not others. Have to give it some thought.

        I'm still only being notified/emailed for parent comments, as in only the first parent comments. Every reply to any of those comments and subsequent conversations on a thread are not sent to me. That happens not only on my own stories but also on favorited ones. Any news on that?

        I'd show you but you deleted the whole story/poll. I may be able to find the email notifications I received but I've probably deleted them.
        
        As I explained to you last time, it wasn't me who experienced this. It was the OP and they told me in a conversation. I'm just relaying the information.

        My apologies, I was wrong. You didn't delete the post. I was confusing it with other posts discussing changes that have been deleted.

you know what though if you did have to pay for this site a lot of the nonsense and the "troll" posts would stop leaving only the people witn the problems to use this site for its intended purpose to get and give advice to one another... then once all the assholes that make disturbing fake posts leave then make it a free site again

i doubt it would work it just sounded good in my head

If one had to spend just one penny for a pound of the crazy shit one sees on this site, it would bankrupt even Bill Gates.

I've been thinking about giving DeviantART and Yahoo Answers another chance, so I'd just go there if this place became a pay site.
