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.Well at least it is cleared up. Now it is kind of blah to me to add such a thing when people have to pay nonetheless. I think even though you guys have this board set up, since it is made as a pay to use thing this board should also be mentioned as the casual board, or independantly run board, and the other be mentioned as the official one. There will be a difference between the 2, and a lot of people that are here and have the VIP will use both, but part of the good of this board is the fact that it is available to the non VIPs and the interaction when you guys do speak here. That is assuming you guys would still participate here.
I hope that helps.
Now don't get me wrong though, I love the show and have been a loyal listener for a very long time. Now I may end up getting VIP access sooner or later anyway because I have wanted to get the podcast for a long time and hopefully will get one soon, especially with the archived show things there now. I may just go for the $3 a month which ends up costing more but is easy to do instead of paying all at once. To tell the truth I thought the only option there was the $30 one, i never really noticed the $3 one there, I may have done so long ago had I known about it.
Shit, weather anyone agrees with it or not you guys are the ones running things and it is your call to do what you want about it. I can disagree on the point of the message board all I want, and others can bitch all they want about anything else, bottom line is it's your show. Now I think you guys should still be part of this board too because it is a good place for feedback, especially from those who don't want to invest in the whole VIP thing but are pretty regular listeners.
by the way, of the changes, I do like the idea of live chat for VIPs, that is a nice touch.
It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll.
