We should not complain about how circumstances are not as we like them to be ...
It's a lesson .... WE are here to use the opportunity to make it like we want it to be and then move on.

It's about the path not the destination !

This reminds me on a free energy and freedom for all...
Heh, I can almost see some people who would cry to turn back time in that case! Imagine horror, where are all those good old hypnotic TV soap operas from the past...?!

Or like Dr. Brian O'Leary like to say: "The truth will set you free. But first, it will **** you off."

(edit: thank you censorbot for a 4 stars)

I have viewed this Forum for about 2 years (guesstimate) but since I have never payed to chat online (which I have been doing since the days of IRC MIRC to be exact) I never signed up, just enjoyed the information.

Project Avalon I would pay for, no doubt in my mind now.

The energy has radically changed and I mean radically as in falling from 30,000 feet and both parachutes have failed.

Not even sure what you all payed before but if it was $5 bucks a month I'd pay $10 a month just to get it back to an even flow.

This Question is for original members who existed while the pay subscription, how do you feel about this?
I don't think so.

I had too many problems with the subscription system. I don't wish to relive them.

Closing the forum again will only take away a voice that others had once again. Let the inexperienced folks post and make their mistakes, etc. The wise ones will learn and the ones who choose to travel down a path of only negativity will find themselves unable to post after a while.

I made myself clear on this not long after the falling away of having to pay to be a member. I was a lone voice at the time. It will be interestng to see if there have been changes in that thought now.

edit after reading Carrie.....

yep, it's getting to the point now where I am finding it difficult to stop by.....very difficult.

I paid for a subscription, mainly as a way to donate and get something for it, and never gave the forum more than a cursory glance every once in awhile because I found it to be too much fluff and not enough substance.

Now that it's free I find it way more useful and interesting with a far more diverse crowd.

No more subscribing for me.

I think the people that are having trouble adapting need to take a look at themselves. If you can't take this forum's atmosphere how the heck do you survive in day to day life? How can you possibly be a light in the darkness when you can't even stomach a forum where most of the people think the same way you do?

Having to pay would deter new members. If you want to have a private members club, good luck with that.

If we pay, do we get to hire our own staff, because going back to pay now would seem like a bad bargain....

Take it easy
