We are not thrilled with the changes but overall are not feeling traumatized by it either. It does cost money to keep a free site going. If someone is getting rich off this I would be surprised. And as for photos, if you post less than five at a time (rather than 43 or some other huge number) then people can see current photo activity, you can update and keep traffic more often, and everyone can stay interesting - no charge to do that. You do have to manage your photos a bit more closely but for the most part, photos are ways to get a sense of people's personality as nudists but not for full time viewing anyway. The site is for connecting, messaging, etc and it functions well for that. We haven't decided if we will be paying members or not yet but the site is free for anyone who wants to use it free. People who only want to see unlimited photos are limited but who knows, maybe that reduces lurkers who don't get to look at everything. I think for $45 you could download a lot of porn if that was their thing! The biggest issue for those who run the site is the lack of process, information sharing and clarity. When a change is made, information and reasons need to be shared, feedback given, etc. None of that was done well in this case. It was one day it was one way and the next day it was different. As humans adapt to changes they need more info and prep and to be given input. There was a dilemma and TT1 solved it himself without asking for the community inpu that should have made it better and might have produced better results. If TT1 would have messaged us all and shared the issue and possible solutions, we'd have all felt better and people wouldn't be jumping ship with so much irritation - that was a screwup on his part. Having said that, we are still glad to be connected with many of you and will stay around a while as thigns settle out. And maybe TT1 is listening and will commuincate something more than PayPal didn't work so he decided to change the whole philosophy of the site (which was a bit weak :) to say the least). Hope many of you will stick around and who knows, maybe TT1 will communicate better with us in the future.
