Change has come to macosxhints.com...
No confusion meant -- the next sentence after what you quoted is important for the context of the statement to be understood:
The community built this site into what it is today, and (as long as I have any say in the matter), the community-contributed content here will always be freely readable and searchable for everyone.That's what I mean by "restricting areas of the site" to subscribers only. That's what I would never do -- restrict access to the hints and database to those who subscribe. I would never do this. Ever. Really. I think it's plain evil :). In another follow-up here somewhere, though, I discussed the concept of a "Gold" account which would offer additional features beyond the free features. You can find it to read what I wrote, but the other important thing to note is that I have this plan in mind only if the ads don't work out -- it's just another option to hopefully help fund the site. All it is at this point, though, is just a concept. So my hope is that the ads work out, but if they don't, I'll need to consider other options to keep the site online. Paid-for "Gold" accounts is but one option, and (I reiterate :), those would never come at the expense of locking free users out of those areas of the site that make macosxhints what it is -- the hints and the database of past hints! Hope that helps; -rob.

Ah, I see now. That makes perfect sense. |
