even in this crazy internet world I can't imagine there are very many corners of it that are whinier than this group.

we added a feature (at no additional cost) for intermat subscribers. that's it. no one lost anything.

if you're a rokfin subscriber you get intermat premium content and matscouts premium content.

if you're an intermat subscriber you get everything on this site (including the new forum).

life is full of choices.

Yep it is.  And sometimes those choices are made easier by a companies decisions.

when you sign up via rokfin it unlocks certain things.

when you sign up via intermat it unlocks certain things.

the two systems are totally unrelated and do not talk to each other.

the only way to give Rokfin subscribers access to the new board is to somehow search every email that subscribed specifically to intermat on rokfin and then somehow write code that allows you access to the board despite you not being a member on this site. oh, and then we'd constantly have to monitor if those subscriptions are still active.

it aint gonna happen.

if I could flip a switch and do it I would. 

perhaps there will be a day where I bring all MatScouts content here under one roof or take InterMat off of Rokfin. until then, choose the option/s that you're most invested in.

So it can be done even though you said it can’t?  Got it. 
 

Two spread sheets is all it would take.  Easily monitored while you’re taking a golden poop each morning.

Chatgpt could write that code for you for free too.  It’s not even hard. 

I mean if it’s not a cash grab it should be pretty easy

If you have tokens to burn, couldn't you just have Claude CLI scrape the Premium content for you?

I have tokens.  Why bother.  The content is likely not really even premium.   Other mediums beat this medium with news all the time.  
 

The question is… is it a cash grab or not.  The question isn’t can you nab the premium content without paying.   Besides.  It shall be leaked ….  So it is what it is?

[Husker_Du]

a cash grab?

are you guys playing with a full deck?

you think the impetus behind this was some sort of flood of new subscribers?

it was merely a value add. a place for members to talk and share stuff.

no more, no less.

Pfff... yeah right. 

Members already have a place to talk and share stuff. It's right here and right now.

What's the "value add"?

I've got a pretty solid educated guess...

what would your solid, educated guess be?

I suspect the problem is the original poster confused us suggesting that there was as a premium option being considered for us in the free forum.

Look at you with your "Subscriber" graphic - it just screams "look at me!"

... but in a pathetic, needy person kind of way.

If you pay a little more, maybe they can remove that for you?

(You know, like a wart or ringworm or something else gross and disgusting.)

Easily my least favorite feature of this forum, I can't truly ignore people because of that.

But then I'd miss out on my first cup of coffee entertainment looking to see what the snowplow was thinking when he got off work at 4 am.

Doesn’t look like “premium” is producing much . 
What’s the verdict?
