i'm gonna sit this thread out who's got the order 4 some food? y'all want 2 do BK, Mickey's or chinese 2day?

Just been reading through the various threads about the new site, and the expectations of what it will be, what it should be, what it will cost, what it should cost and so on.

As I was responding it occurred to be that we are all talking as if we are all compelled to join, pay, etc etc. Now I have stated, yes I will join and pay what I believe is a reasonable price for the offering (whatever that may be) and if I choose not to then that's my choice too. No one is making me join, or making me pay or not pay.

Now it's cool to have opinions on the site etc, but I just think all this bitching and moaning is counterproductive. For those that decide to join the site I hope the experience is a great one, and for those that don't that is cool too.

But I don't think we are owed anything. Prince as an artist has a right to put a value on his work (if he chooses to do so) and you have a right to see that as valuable or not.

And now I hand over my 2 cents and thank you.

If you read my post, it was never looking to divide the camp in half. It actually said if you choose to join the site join then cool, if not also cool, but don't complain or tell those fans who are excited and looking forward to it , not to join.

It was all about accepting that some people will want to join, others not and both are valid decisions. I would never want to tell someone they "have to join" or they aren't a fan, and likewise I would never want someone telling me I can't join or I am being stupid by joining.

Hope that came through.

I could care less how other people spend their money. I have never discouraged anyone from signing up but I have been discouraged by those who want to sign up to shut up or leave or stop bitching much like you've done. We aren't the problem in this scenario.....
