You have no idea what kind of a relationship I already may have with hubski and/or its users, which may permanently prevent me from ever viewing hubski as "a temporary message board." I'm not trying to say hubski is life changing but I do believe that looking at it the way you present it is a very shallow point of view, and limiting.

Please don't condescend to me and tell me not to get too attached to a website where I've developed a strong group of twentyish friends over the last year+. Please also don't pretend you know what the goals are of the site owners - change is inevitable, but monetization and selling have been discussed and are in no way a goal for the founders. This is typical "i have no idea what I'm talking about but because I've been on the internet a few times I feel like I know how everything works" bullshit. You have no frame of reference for the statements you are attempting To make.

And for the record, if you treat hubski like a disposable, temporary thing, you're going to make it crap.
