Any idea what the new unified feature set may be?

 

From what i heard maybe just the search feature and faster forums.
I wish they had the resources for more PM's.

cleaning out my pms is gonna suck

 

[kranky]

Aw, crap. I didn't mind paying the few bucks for a subscription to bypass the ads and get the searching and extra PM features.

 

[amdskip]

Nothing too great of an announcement just following up what we know and with features to TBA.

I just wish they'd give us reasons as to WHY they're discontinuing a very popular service.

Or they could let us keep our 1,000 PM's and I'll shut up.

What was the exact reason for closing them though? They said the ads pulled in enough money... but I mean, would you want more if people were willing to pay for more?

Indeed it does!

unified feature set

No offense but they couldn't even get the "subscriber features" implemented before the service was over with.

I wonder what the reason for this is though....

Exactly what I was thinking. There were many users using it and people were more than willing to pay for it. I'd think it would be less of a hassle than running ads.

Exactly.

I am still willing to pay $30/yr for a subscription account, if they'd only take my damn money!

It's better than status quo at least, Ross. I'd still like no ads, but as long as the left-bar is kept empty, I'm happy.

 

[deerslayer]

This blows.

I'd rather shell out the $30 and get rid of this stupid advertisement bar. I miss the speed too!

But why even have the place holder there then?

Exactley, it's a shame they are ignoring plea's from users who want to give them money for what they are already have in place...

Same here! They've got people (myself included) practically begging to pay for a subscriber service and they're turning the oppurtunity down. Is it possible that they can generate more revenue off of ads than maintaining a subscriber service?

Once again, I ask the question: will subscribers be forced to reduce their number of PMs back below the 100 mark in order to send PMs after their subscription discontinues? Or will the number of allowable PMs be increased for everyone?

I too regret this decision. I would have kept paying.

Yes, you will have to reduce it down below 100 (happened to me not to long ago). I wish they would reconsider....

You have a point. Seeing as I have no choice in the matter I'm glad the ads on the left are gone (for now).
