It's simply human nature. While the photography forum in question might have been the best one, it wasn't the
only one. Their main competition remained free ... so guess where all the members went?
The site that remained free is now probably the premiere site in Australia.
You couldn't really expect any other outcome. Nobody is going to stick around an obscure and unpopulated forum just because they have strong principles ... particularly when all the movers and shakers have gone elsewhere.

I find that perhaps a tad offensive. Not everyone who doesn't support the idea of mandatory fees is a hopeless bogan who blows their paycheck on booze and cigarettes. How do you know who here may have already donated ... and to what extent?
