There has been numerous offers on here for this lot to shift too and i still say Reggie should start up a membership fee.

If you got to pay to get on a site then the first thing you will do is treat it with respect and give as much as you take, think about it .

And the title of this thread should be changed to something like... The End Will Come Only If We Allow It !.

You start up a membership fee, the expectations will rise even higher than they currently are set for a free membership site.

No i do not agree, having money around means some can be paid for the organisation put into a FOSS driven community such as testing and community layout among a few that would make a big difference.

Money makes the world go round and also creates respect, something this community lacks sometimes.

And that is exactly what needs to happen !, higher expectations mean a higher level of input.

I don't think you get FOSS, dude.

Wow, I think you also don't get respect.

Erm. Not how a meritocracy like FOSS works.

The Foss community obviously works for free in the development area BUT how the community is put together and works is what takes the time.

You obviously do not understand what i am going on about here.

Look at this community and look at the arguments that go on, is all too far from the professional way it should be as developers should have the respect they deserve.

Members should be somewhat vetted and made to sign an agreement NOT to do anything but develop and help development in every way without argument.

Maybe an impossible situation to make happen in this world ?.

Don't work on communities that are free to join because any twit can join it just to create arguments among members.

Stricter rules are needed for sure as well as a membership fee.

My last comment that you omitted "Maybe an impossible situation to make happen in this world ?. ".
