I run my own forum for our local scene. We have 1500 registered members and it's been going ten years now. In the past few months we introduced a similar supporters scheme, and many took this up.

However, even some who did still ***** and moan about it, which is bizarre, cause they weren't forced.

Anyway, I liken it to my works company, they recently took on board a few others business's, which meant my workload was diluted and meant my slice of the pie wasn't as good. I didn't complain, I just got on with, cause afterall, it's their business, and they shall do as they see fir with their business, and I always had the option to move along.

Three years now since they took over those other companies, and guess what, I'm still there, the choice is there for everyone.
