It will last as long as users pay money to the owners and they get revenue from advertisers.

It will go on and I would imagine it will head in other directions with the new owners.

Until the infraction system reaches critical mass and the following cascade effect results in everyone being banned

It will last until its no longer financially viable,

given that it now has commercial owners.

As the core membership 'driver' is Impreza Turbo sales, looking at the new model, I'd say its doomed.

Agreed. However say if the average life of a Scoob is 15 years, then there is still hope.

Other than that the 'other marques/ non scooby related' sections would get bigger and bigger.

Well, at 5000 miles per year, I can see my classic wagon lasting about another ten years, so I'll probably still keep popping in.

J4CKO, I am beginning to worry about you

Surely you have better things to ponder over

Default How long will Scoobynet go on for ?

Not long for me thanx to the infractor who called me a racist, which I certainly am not (note to infractor, Gypsies are a way of life not a race) However I've now been branded a racist and got an infraction to prove it, I'll contribute very little to this once great bbs I'll still be here but I will not post much anymore.

If I don't post a to your jokes etc it don't mean I don't find them funny It's cos I'm now a raciest apparently and have the medal to prove it in my profile

Default not long

I have gone from logging on a couple of times of day to maybe once in 3 weeks and I would certainly never pay any money again to use it at least until the infraction stuff stops

So are you going to keep paying money towards it? Nobody seems to have been able to answer the question what you actually get for the cash.
If the answer is the ability to infract people, chance to spend time in forums that nobody else does, the opportunity to write a 'funny' comment and a little badge by your name then........I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions

There's a well known saying about a certain type of person and their money. Remind me how it goes again.

It's good to be one of the few though isn't it hunt?

You've just become so predictable ........ maybe some new material would help your cause

I'm not here for your entertainment, I don't need any new material other than the truth which is driving paying subscribers away from this site in their droves.

Please list said 'paying subscribers' that are leaving..... and as they're leaving in DROVES this task should be rather simple for you!

You paid for a search function that used to be freely available, I suggest you get try and get at least some value for your money and use it.

You're correct I haven't compiled a list, that would be a rather sad thing to do wouldn't it? It's not as if I really care one way or the other I merely made an observation.
I've just read numerous comments from unhappy subscribers who don't intend to pay any more money. Why there are even a couple on this thread in case you missed them.

Maybe you could make a list and present it to your master?
