I'm not going in to specifics here or anywhere else as its already been said.

    Does this make you more or less interested in contributing to an AoS room?

    I think it's another objection in principle, Al. Forums should be for the people by the people and all that. Oh and free at the point of use. So of course the forum owner should run it at a loss!

    Well that's true, that's precisely what it is. However, if you looked beneath the surface a little James was attempting to do much the same years before he eventually sold the Wam. I can't see any inherent problem with it being a forum attached to a business though - pfm is and it doesn't seem to do it any harm.

    I don't post much on the Wam these days but not because of the ownership change (not directly at any rate) - I just don't see many threads that interest me.
