Greetings boarders!
I must say, I'm a little surprised by the reaction. I wouldn't expect so many people to immediately jump to the worst conclusions possible. Its okay, I probably do it too. For the record, I replied to Potthole yesterday, so it was not ignored when he emailed.
First, as I've mentioned, all the content and more that was free on the old site is also free on the new site. I can certainly understand why people thought it was weird when the Joe stunts appeared to be VIP only.
You'll note the VIP membership is the same cost as a podcast, thus all the other stuff could be looked at as bonus material for existing podcasters. We'll be adding more content all the time that is VIP specific. But the stuff we talk about on the air, the links, the videos and such will all be available. In fact, more of the stuff we talk about will be available as we'll be linking more of the articles we use at the beginning of breaks.
As for the message board and why we have one: It is often a way to drive traffic to a website as you all know. Ultimately, that is one of the goals of having a website. It is not set up to compete with this one, though inherently, on some level it will. I doubt seriously it will somehow destroy this one, as the community is obviously pretty strong on the board, with or without us.
I hope that helps.
