Well Dom, I am a huge fan of your stories, and once I have a steady pay check, I am definitely going to buy premium so that I can enjoy it... then again, it may end up that I will when I get my tax money instead.

Im enjoying it, and please for others just don't jump to conclusions. please read why we are having a premium section and plus look at what dom has said as well

I've added the blog explanation into the Domaholic's FAQ (so you know, when the next drunken blog entry pushes this one down )

This whole premium thing really amazes me. I thought Myr did a great job of explaining why GA was doing it, and how it would work. It was simple and to the point. Now, I realize that I am incredibly brilliant, so maybe I'm not the best judge of "simple and to the point" but I don't know how much clearer Myr could have been:

It takes money to support a website. Ad revenues alone do not support GA, which means GA loses money. Myr has assured us that he is not Warren Buffet pretending to be a wizard, and that he did not just win the lottery. That means that GA needs to raise money to survive. And premium content is a way to say "thank you" to big supporters. If you give lots of money to the symphony, they let you some to their pre-performance receptions as a thank you. It's the same damn thing. How easy is that to understand?

So then I get an e-mail from some guy telling me I should publish stuff there so I can get paid. Stupid people piss me off.

Just a thought. It might be cool if people educated themselves a bit before they threw fits. Or something. That might be nice. *shrug*

The explanation was just a click away. *headdesk*

If you give lots of money to the symphony, they let you come to their pre-performance receptions as a thank you.

Ah! I seem to be able to leave a comment ... sorry, I
