The idea you had of grandfathered people paying like free people I disagree with. Same old story. You forgot how you got here.
I seem to remember Matt saying that wouldn't happen.
Oh well.
It was just an idea. A thought. Something to throw out there. Honestly, I don't know what the exact arrangement Matt (and therefore the site) has with Grandfathered members. Is it that they will never have to pay to avail themselves of any new feature the site ever offers, whether the feature is offered for free or as an extra-cost feature?
If we offered to pay for a subscription to the Wall Street Journal with every subscription to Investors Hub, am I obligated to buy the same WSJ subscriptions for all the Grandfathered members?
If that's the case, I can count on less than one finger the number of new features I'll roll out that have any cost involved aside from my programming time.
It seems to me that quotes could be added to subscriptions as an ala carte thing, so a person could, for example, get quotes free with a lifetime subscription or pay $1.00 per month extra on a shorter-term subscription.
But again, not if I'm obligated to give that away to Grandfathered members. I could only afford to do that if a large enough people bore the cost of it that I could give it away to everyone else. And the site's other owner has already opined that the kinds of quotes I'm talking about are "useless", so it's all, including the above, moot.
Suits me. Definitely less work for me. And I don't have to piss off as many people in the process.
