I really hope for many here that despite the choices that have caused the plummet of value the chain makes it. I don't see the current move being one that encourages those already here to stay, and figure some who were on the line will probably leave. Like yourself, I am here for a few in the community who haven't already left. I only have house money here now, but wouldn't object to it being worth something one day.

Is There Somewhere Truly Better?

I don't believe that's the right question. Just because the other places such does not make this one awesome by default.

Clearly earnings are not the reason to be here. I have earned more in royalties in the last two months that my account is currently valued at and I haven't written anything in years now.
