>> I would presume, therefore, that there is no way on earth that they are going to back away from anything that creates a link between IHUB and Advfn. <<
In short, I agree, unless of course by changing product A to get more customers to product B, they lose customers to product A.
No matter what I'm sure IHUB will grow with either decision and few will actually *leave* the site....however, the amount IHUB grows may be slowed as a key marketing edge they had gets eliminated. Maybe I'm wrong since I don't know how much of a benefit they will get from the market data....maybe it's massive and IHUB traffic itself barely breaks even. Dunno.
I don't mean any of this as a whine.....I'm already over it, lol. Besides, there's the flip side of the coin -- maybe having less new people coming would be a bonus as it seems to be newbies who give the community its problems the most anyway.
