I'm doing the same because I'm a follower. Also, because that thread is too crowded

Well, after sleeping on it, I pretty much echo DSD. I'll say it shorter though...
Alla, congratulations on the business aspect. I know you have a wife and child so better to them and better to your employees and their families as well. I've enjoyed the past six years here and your hands-on style and willingness to be a down to earth guy played a major role in that. Even at three bucks a month, I owe you for years of information and entertainment and generally putting up with us. Personally, I think you should take some of that corporate cash and put it towards a goodwill liason mission to Boston
Your stance on plat/gold/gil sales over the years has been consistant and earnest. Which, I imagine, is part of why it's so difficult to hear about this deal now after you lasted so long. But I'll give you credit where it's due that you did last this long when other forums and sites were cashing in on the easy money. I admit I'm disappointed to hear about this deal, but I'm not willing to demonize you for it.
I'll stick around for the time being because, let's face it, this place has been a home for the last half-decade and I'm not so easily displaced. I have four months left on my subscription so I'll have time to decide for myself if the climate is shifting. I firmly believe that
you believe that it won't change but the reality of the situation will prove itself for better or ill.
Good luck to you and the rest of your staff.
