New membership might slow down, but we'll still got people coming here. I think the fees associated with the FBHW VIP membership might turn some people away, who will likewise come join up here.
I think I can safely say this for Biff, as well as the rest of us mods, but please don't go over to the new board looking to cause trouble. That looks bad on our part.
People turned off by the VIP membership won't join any board, because they will have no way of knowing about this board.
Anyhow the idea of having to pay to use a message board is pretty ridiculous, even though the reason a person would become a VIP would likely have nothing to do with it. Still, why limit people discussing your show to the subset of the listeners who pay? I don't see the logic.
(Edit: I don't think anybody takes this seriously enough to actually go to start trouble on another message board. If nothing else, this is kind of an interesting situation because I'm not really sure if them keeping that new message board and not mentioning this one is really a concious slap in the face to this board of if it is just coincidental with no harm intended.)
