OK, I never got "worked up" about this issue. Rather, I pine for the old days, I've been with Fark for 3 or 4 years and I watched it grow up and change. Now they have reached a level of growth and all I want is that they be honest about it. It's kinda like when your favourite Indie band sells out for a big record deal (I'm talking to you Liz Phair). Sure, we still love them, but more for what they used to be rather than what they have become and are changing into.
I understand completly the realities of running a website that gets hundreds of thousands of hits a day, it costs money and I can respect that you have raise funds here and there, but be honest about it. Once again, in the "old days" Fark was just a fun little site where the members submitted quirky stories and sites for all to enjoy now it's become a nebulous "big business" entity that won't answer questions from it's members. Sure I'll still visit, but man the place has lost it's charm.
So to wrap up and repeat myself, meh...whatever.
