There is a condecending tone and overall arrogance that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. On top of that, Ali2 has devalued the members that helped make their site popular int he first place. Many of us feel cheated. A larger issue for some that removed themselves is how Tyme, Mike, and Scrivs have interacted with people recently.

They are a community, and so they fall under some gray areas when it comes to the rules they should follow. I agree with you about culling the herd, but at the same time, I was trying to balance my post by trying to view it from the side of the people leaving. If it looked like 9rules was trying to make money off their content, and they weren't getting anything in return, I could understand them wanting to leave, but not being willing to participate in the private forum...That's a little silly, especially since there wasn't a quota they had to fulfill.

Culling the herd is sometimes the best way to move forward too. regardless of whether the private forum is monetized or not, asking for participation is within the rights of a blog network (or at least it should be).
