Well, I wasn't sure what all was going on with no one responding to anything. I'm glad at least some of them were able to save their forums before everything went bust on them.

I often wondered what happened to Mark and Mary. When they were there, they seemed like really nice people. I wouldn't mind running across them again. :)

It does seem to go that way. When a place shuts down, everyone drifts.

I'm hoping our site grows and stays around for many many years. People need a place more worried about people than what it can get out of them all the time. A lot of the pay sites could care less about the people, until they want money.

We've actually been getting a good number of new members from Delphi lately. More than usual. Apparently this Zeta thing they're pushing is really ticking a lot of people off.

I saw one of those forums. I can see why people are calling them a Facebook knockoff. They're hideous!

I hope to the heavens that Matt never decides to take Beehive that route.

I hear rumors of their next big venture being charging people for different services to be connected and usable with their forums.

The biggest complaint so far is if they want chat, they're going to have to pay for it, aside from what they already pay for their services. Another one is that the people who get chat, if they want a chat bot, they'll have to pay for it too.

There was also something about tiered pricing for different things.

There is a lot of gossip floating around. I'm not sure just what to believe of everything I've been hearing, but some of it does sound like something they would do.

You do know that delphi's pricing model is the reason beehive exists, right?

For some reason, voting buttons no workee, otherwise I'd have upped you (nj)

 :-D

No I didn't.

So, as usual, DF did it to itself. Again. lol

When they started to charge for basic features, Matt and a few other members of Not The PC Format Forum on Delhi made Beehive.

We don't talk about Webvelosix round here.
