Keep in mind that iHub is not "pay to post". Payment there enables premium features, which should remain intact whether suspended or not (if not, I need to revisit the source code and fix that) and the only posting-related things that subscription enables is an increase in daily posting ability to effectively unlimited quantity and location, with suspension clamping down only on location.

Personally, I don't know why Bux is suspended over there and don't much care beyond academic curiosity. I suspect if he asks over there, he'll be told. Matt won't "answer to" his admin decisions here just as I won't answer to my admin decisions on this site over at iHub.

As for SI's subscription being construed as a contract to allow posting, that's debatable, and apparently the previous legal department didn't want to see it debated in court. I feel no such reservations.

But the model will change to be more like iHub's, with certain differences. The quality is higher here and I don't want to dilute it the way it can happen when you fling the doors open.
