I'm not sure what part of my post suggested emotional outrage? You seem to be very sensitive to any criticism of the policy (judging by your posts). It is fine to disagree (unless it is with you I suppose). I think you are missing the point. Naturally the majority of us appreciate the hard work and sharing that people like you contribute or we wouldn't be here in the first place. I have no money or else I wouldn't be here trying to find stuff, the same probably with the majority of members most likely. Members are simply posting their opinions and concerns over a last minute policy change. No one is attacking you personally. We can justify it as "Sharing" etc., but legally we all know what it really is, so let us not pretend. I'm not sure that it is helpful to implement personal attacks on other members though. I was simply stating the fact that the site visit incentive was creating traffic in a brilliant way. Remember who the audience is here, the majority are not super contributors such as yourself. If it was not for contributors such as yourself, the site would not exist and us lower members are grateful for your hard work and sharing. But if it was not for other lower members, it would also have a fraction of membership. If that is your goal, making this a contributor/payer only site, then your comments are understandable and you are helping by flushing out those lower members hand over fist, so your tactic is working. Not sure if that is the way ZoneGFX wishes it to be though. If it is, you are doing another great service by helping weed out the "useless" like me. If that is not the goal of ZoneGFX, then your personal attacks/comments are not really helping their argument.
The main reason I loved this site was for the daily points (I try not to miss a day, I like collecting them).
Well too bad I guess, don't really care now since visits don't matter.
I find it rather interesting that a pirating website is punishing faithful members over content that the website deemed as "stolen fair and square" because it is being "unethically pirated" by a few less ethical users.
My guess is that there might be a less destructive way to handle this instead of removing the Main Single Thing that brought people here and kept them coming back regularly in the first place. It was a genius traffic marketing tactic in the first place. I am truly baffled by the decision to remove the one thing that worked so well. I will be tuning in the next few days, just to see if policy changes, but if not will go back to finding other sites.
