<<<And yeah, people are going to whine. Active came in and bought out Coolrunning, started charging for some much beloved features, and trashed the rest in what they call an "upgrade" without soliciting input from the people who actually used the site as to what was important to them.
First, almost no website will survives without revenue from users. Ads are good income but until you have users who "really" value something, a site is just coasting until the thrill of endulging a hobby goes away and the need to make money becomes clear.
I love the way people state absolutes when they have no way of knowing what they are talking about. How can you be so sure that people were not solicited about the changes?
i work most in the computer field and have been responsible for implimenting tons of stuff and if it was left up to users to make and impliment "serious" changes we'd still be using are fingers and toes to count.
If something you like is really "beloved" then having to pay for it shouldn't make that much difference. I question people's committment to what they say is important to them. Nobody can ever please fickle people who won't pay didly for something they will get indignate about if it is denied them.
However, to find the CR threads you can do it 2 ways.
1) Go to the main CR home page and click on the rightmost tab at the top "community"
Then in yellow area on the left click on "Discussion Forums and the list of CR forums should appear
2) try this link from # 1 above.

Dude, I'm not a f*cking idiot--that link brings you RIGHT BACK HERE. The past threads from coolrunning no longer exist.
As for me, my objections to the place are mostly that it looks like sh*t. But I was merely relating to you why others are upset.
