Do you plan any searches which go back a few years? It would be useful to see who predicted what at various points in time that are only obvious years later. TP

Hi Bob, re: However, there will be many new features (some of them already in existence on Dev) that will only be available to anyone who has purchased a subscription since our acquisition of the site. They'll be made available to Grandfathered members and Lifetime members who purchased their subscriptions before the acquisition for a nominal annual fee. Are you far enough along in defining the biz model to give us an idea of what nominal is?

here's my 2 cents for what it's worth I understand you need to make this a viable business venture, a profitable one and I applaud you for undertaking it, for I have been an SI'er for a long time - I like SI, it is a part of my internet life and I would miss it I know the ads bring in revenue, important revenue since I want you to be successful, I wouldn't mind ads in posting screens if: you don't have to click on an ad to close it to be able to read the post or thread [like damn yahoo, that I never go to anymore] and the ad took up no more than say about 1/5 of the message window as for the bells and whistles, go for them all in your development stage - you can figure out price structure later or if you want to keep them all I know you'll get a lot of heat, for people are resistant to change but I'm open to it, to keep SI alive, well and profitable [edit] btw, add 'internet' to the damn spellchecker!
