I can't really just spend 30 bucks to become part of this exclusive club. There are more things i need to worry about. I personally don't like the need to pay for podcasts, but that is their choice, but making a message board exclusive would be excluding a lot of people out there who enjoy the whole idea of a message board but really dont have the luxury of speding that little extra to become a "vip". I was never much for this "exclusive" crap to begin with. I understand the show is growing, and while not really rivaling bob and tom in the affiliate area yet they are pretty much climbing those ranks in that area. I have not seen the success of gaining affiliates go to their heads either, and would like to see it stay that way. There are some things that i would never like to see. Especially the whole blocking affiliate online streams to make people actually pay if they wish to listen online, and things of that nature. Bottom line is these guys have well deserved success, and regardless weather or not half or even all of us on here stop listening to the show they will still have a huge following and great ratings, so we are just probably a drop in the bucket of that. However paying for some things that used to be free would be like a good friend betraying your trust. That is why when the glitches of the new site were noticed it caused such a rumbling because people felt that if it was true they were starting to get a little too cocky. well at least that's how i see it.[/rant]
