Subject: I don't blame them for needing to make money (m)

I just don't think they needed to completely ruin our boards to do it. Granted, I'm not a business-minded person and my DH might completely disagree with me...but it seems to me that they are going to LOSE revenue by changing the boards so much. I used to post on another ivillage board (100+ pounds to lose) and it was a completely different format than our PP one...but not bad and the posts went from bottom to top and you could see all the replies. I never had a problem switching between that setup and our board and it seems like they could have made a different change that would have kept us there. I know they wouldn't be able to please EVERYBODY...but I think they're going to lose a LOT of people over this.

I know they are a company that needs to make money, though, so I have been putting up with all the popups and stuff without TOO much complaining. lol I wouldn't have wanted to pay for the use of their site...but I might have considered it if it meant we would have kept our boards...as long as it was reasonable, of course. lol

Anyway, just my 2 cents! :O) I love our board members...where else can we have a discussion like this without people blowing up at each other...definitely not on the Freebie board! roflol That place was a hotbed of controversy! heehee
