First of all, if you had read the article in which I announced this and outlined the service, you would have observed where I specifically talked about the cost and how I felt this was necessary to prevent the server from overloading as we measured it's usage and worked out any problems that may come up from something so new. You may or may not know this, but there are a few individuals on this site (read: everyone) that aren't particularly happy when the site crashes. So I was very clear about the 'why' with an additional caveat of 'as we get more comfortable with this we may reduce or eliminate the charge'. Putting that aside, what you are obviously lacking is something called 'tact'. To come in here and call something I've been working on and developing for many months 'worthless' when you yourself haven't even used the feature is, well to be quite frank, rude. There are some people around here where that kind of attitude wouldn't surprise me - you were not one of them. Apparently I've made another mistake in judgment of character so my apologies for that... |
I don't normally read anything on news.vgchartz.com so I didn't read your announcement at all. Same with stickies which I stopped caring about completely around the time the moderators had 3 Mario Kart Wii stickies and the Brawl thread which had 10 times as many posts went unstickied. Oh well.
As for your second paragraph, if I saw it as worthwhile I would have tried it by now. I understand more why you put in the vg$ requirement after reading that article though. I look forward to trying it when it's available to everyone in the community equally.
