Gentlemen - It has come to my attention that "a review" was posted on Alexa.com stating the following:
"Greedy, 2/12/03
Reviewer: Yury Byalik
Its a good site to discuss domains with people but in my opinion, the owner got greedy by charging members $10-$50 a month for access to the forums. All other forums, domain name related or not, are FREE"
I have posted the following reply which will take a few days to be processed and would suggest that anyone who feels as strongly as I do about the stupidity of some of the people who we are forced to share this world with, considers doing the same.
"I am more than happy to pay $10-$50 to be a member of a site which MOST DEFINATELY justifies this expense. In fact, if the prices were doubled tomorrow - this would make no difference to me. It is not a case of "greed", It is a case of "reality". Why should we expect the owner to pay the hosting, bandwith costs etc. for something which we are directly benefitting from? Should we not contribute?
I live in the real world and understand that nothing good comes free. May my membership fee continue to be spent as it is now - keeping the site updated, fast-loading, graphics and feature rich.
Long live the capitalism that gives us all the opportunity to have the choice to pay for quality - and good luck to everyone connected with dnforum.com - It's a great site!"
Great also to see the site breaking into the top 2000 -
