[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1794914, member: 131855"] @Ember1205 If I engaged in conspiracy theories I might agree with your assessment of the situation but there is a hughe problem with it. Let's assume that the current owners have the site for the purely altruistic motive of keeping our little community together. Isn't it likely that they would likely want to at least break even on covering the costs of running the site? You can't effectively do that by limiting traffic because that means fewer eyeballs looking at the ads and thus fewer perspective buyers. In the real world, the goal is more likely to generate at a profit. I have no problem with that but once again how does limiting the traffic in any way lead to a profit. [/QUOTE]
