take a look at this..it affects all users

[Guest guest]

is making plans to introduce a premium service.

That's great for busionesses and large groups that have money and

want

extra bells & whistles. To us (smaller groups) it means we'll /have/

to pay up, or get cut way back in services and storage space that we

have now. THis should run up a battle flag for all small groups that

need file and photo storage space.

has a survey going on right now, asking users what

they would think about this proposed premium service. Please take

this

survey and make it clear to that you do not want to pay for

groups and that you don't think any features/storage space should be

taken away from free . The big picture is: They want to

attract and make money from the large user groups that salivate over

the extra semi-worthless bells & whistles, and are willing to lose

small groups by the hundreds because they will not have enough

storage

room to operate (It will give them extra server space and bandwidth I

suppose).

There is one place in the survey where asks you to write any

features you would like to see groups have. Please use this space to

tell them you're against premium groups.

Tellingly, they have a couple of blanks that ask specifically where

you would go if you closed down your group and moved it to a

different

service provider. I typed in " I'll FIND one! "

Here is the URL for the survey:

This is a long survey but if we want to keep our groups free please

fill it out and submit it, we need to have our voice heard if we want

to keep Free.Please pass this along to all of the groups

that you belong to.
