I'm not really worried. I mean it doesn't bother me until someone gets all in my face about it!  |

These things dont bother me a bit... I see it like this, with the New homepage- you can fix it by going to your profile and taking a category off your homepage, and click submit, therefore making the new homepage only seen if you want to see it, but you have access to ALL the stories that way too. The $5 fee, also has the sponsorship which was put into effect to help the current member s get family on here. And the readings, I dont get into personally, but I dont have to check the stories and read every reply either.. So either way that doesnt bother me either  I do wish peeps would just enjoy the site, instead of always picking it apart, ya know?  |

The deletions get out of hand and that's annoying but the rest doesn't bother me, the only problem I have with the new layout is when I go to all posts and read through the page when I hit the next page button it takes me back to just the stories from the mainpage, it would be easier if they went to all the stories like it did before  |

look, hate to sound rude but the honest to goodness truth is.....it's not your site. you don't pay every month to keep it going. if you don't like it....don't come around as much. find a site that does fit your needs. that's what i have done...cause the truth is....this place doesn't suit my needs like it used to. really rather boring and uptight anymore. sure, i still check things out and post every now and then....but don't hang around as much as i used to. not my site....i have no way of changing anything so i choose to keep quite about my grips with it and move on. think of it this way.....if you had a friend that was always getting on your nerves....wouldn't you stop hanging around them so much and get out and make new friends? oh and you better read fast....i wouldn't be surprised if this comment went bye bye.  two options here.....1. either deal with it and go with the flow.....or 2. find something else. why waste so much energy on a silly site and how "unfair" everything is? don't you have anything exciting going on in your real life? just giving an honest opinion here. or opps....am i still allowed to do that?  |

babie bec I did find a new site (http://witch.conforums.com diana's lovely site :-p) but I mean I luv USM and I hate oh hate seeing it go this way. I know I'm not an admin, wish I was lol. I figure I can sit back and watch my beloved site go bye bye, or at least try and ask what other people think (i.e. this post) lol |

...some things I don't like at all...nor do I like seeing people who voice their opinion being called rude, ungrateful and told to 'Love it or Leave it'...often the people who are voicing their concerns are those who have been here for over 2 years or more, and could well be seen as those who helped in some way form USM with their input, so in my eyes would have in a way EARNT the right to speak...yet they are called rude, ungrateful and sometimes not welcome. But the bottom line is I don't own this site...nor do I pay for it...and I can surf on out if I choose to...so no big thing really. Peace,  |

yeah, i know.....it's a shame that so many people see problems with this site. but how many posts like this have we seen? when are people going to realize that nothing is going to change unless the owners of this site think a change needs to be made. and from the looks of it....they are making the changes they think need to be made. truth is, it really does no good to post things like this....it falls on deaf ears. and no offense to any of the admins...like i said in my other comment....not my site...and it really doesn't matter to me what they do. ya know, sometimes it's best to step back and not make this site so important in your life! i mean, it's not like any of us will die if this site does go bye bye. and yes, i would miss it if it did end...but i wouldn't die. ya know how they say...everything changes, nothing ever stays the same? well, that's even true for USM. ya know how everyone has that one time in their life how they look back and think that was the best times of their lives? well, maybe USM falls into that category. maybe you have seen the better days of USM and now it is a memory. and maybe some people have yet to see the "golden days" of USM. maybe there are a lot of people that love it now and think it is the best it has ever been? who knows. |

I agree, it is abit annoying to have to click on the "all posts" to be able to read everything, and I am so glad I joined before they started the $5 thingy, cause I plain and simple couldnt have afforded it. I know, its only $5 but, that could be used as gas money ect...and I dont think it keeps "bad guys" out, if the "bad guys" want in bad anough, whats $5 to them? It may keep some at bay, but not all. As far as everything else...I really have not had a problem with.  |

My honest opinion is that if you don't like this site for whatever reason, there are others.  |

Babie Bec, although what you say about the site owners making the changes they see neccessary is true, surely it's helpful to them ot have the views of their members, ans it's equally helpful to us to have the views of each other.
Personal gripes: The arbitry and seemingly unaccountable way the admins decide things, and the cliquiness. I might be unhappy with those things but that isn't enough for me to up and leave because I know wherever I go there'll always be something not quite 100%.
So I stay and when someone asks what's right or wrong with USM I chuck my tuppence-worth in.
I know it's not my site, I know it's not my money running it but I can sure as hell voice my opinions on it. Best wishes  |

I have been on here for almost 2 years now and this place has changed a lot. There is one new rule I hate. It is the 2 post per hour thing. I think that is stupid. It is also untrue. I tried to post something on here after I had already posted 2 thing and it had been about and hour and a half since the first on and it wouldnt let me. I tried for another hour every 10 minutes or so and it finally let me after 2 and a half hours. I dont like the fact that there are delete happy admins on here. Some people dont know how to handle power and abuse it. I also think the 5 dollor thing is stupid. I wanted my sister to come on, but she doesnt want to pay 5 dollars cause she really doesnt have it to spare and I dont blame her. I dont like that you have to pay to go on a web site, but hey, Im not in charge. I have no idea how much it costs the people in charge. So they do have a right to do what they feel necessary. Sorry for babbling on so long.  |

I'm another one who doesn't like being told "love it or leave it" by some 14 year old who has been here all of 6 months. But I've also learned that it is absolutely worthless to critisize and in fact it's amazing this post hasn't been deleted. Franks right there are other sites, and that's where I spend most of my time these days.  |

Jamie J I forgot bout that! Yeah I hate that too! the thing i mhate most is everyone saying 'not your site, dont speak, find somewhere else to go.' Sure the good days for USM maybe in my past but what about all the newbies who never got the experince? Its worth a try to state how I feel just so someone, anyone knows. And i did find another place but i miss USM |

I had a post similiar to this.. that I was told wasn't a debate and cause I disagreed with someone. Got on their nerves LOL It was deleted while I was outta town. Probably a matter of time before this is deleted. Good Luck. On any change it isn't gonna happen!  |
