I tend to agree with you, Dmitri King. But, many of the pawns will eventually succumb. However, IYT's limited moves got me to join there. Gold Token's withheld games got me to leave there. But, Brainking's overall community, and good will got me to send money. Unfortunately, not all people feel that way - it's the old "Everything should be free on the net" mentality that started in the mid-late 90s when it was a work in progress.

I still think contributions, not changes in memberships, will accomplish what we need, and maybe, until we can afford the space needed to accomodate the pawns, we could limit their moves.
