Vikings: Where'd he mention it, on the Fellowship discussion board? A place I've never been to, by the way. I'll get over it eventually. It has little effect upon my enjoyment of this site. I'm just not happy with how it went down.
If not grandfather clauses, paying extra for extra fellowships sure could be an option. How 'bout charging less for membership for those that don't use the fellowships, but use every thing else? Or even have an "A la carte" type membership where you pick and choose the features you want, or go with a package like it is now (Knight or Rook)?
