Hi everyone,
I'm going to share my disappointment with you. At this stage, I don't know if I will be renewing my membership with WA next year or just switching to a simple hosting option elsewhere.
Am I the only person who feels let down, since the upgrade happened in WA? When I joined I was offered a membership price which 'would never change' and was therefore 'for life'. It seems like a bit of a cheat to then say that if you want access to the site you have to upgrade. to a (much) higher premium So my lifetime access wasn't actually true because I now have to upgrade in order to be able to watch (for example) Nathaniel's video on refreshing old images, which is the first thing that greets me when I log in.

Talk about making you feel like a second class citizen. Log in and get greeted by material that you aren't allowed to watch. I clicked unwittingly on the video and eagerly started watching it, only to be greeted with the message that 'you have to upgrade to enjoy the rest of this video'.
To me, this isn't what lifetime membership meant.
Up until the upgrade, I was a 100% fan of WA. Since then though, I don't feel its integrety anymore.
I've been feeling despondent about the whole thing for a while now, so I thought I'd share my thoughts. Is there anyone else who feels let down, or is it only me?
