Welcome to WebmasterWorld jimbob.

>I don't think I stressed one point: this year, member posts and topics have been routinely cherry picked by sites, forums, articles, and newsletters. I'd guess on the order of 30-40 times it has happened this year (5 in the last week). Most of the time, that happens without accrediation or reference.

I'm very concerned about the effects of monetizing WebmasterWorld by going to some sort of subscription, but this content borrowing is the one point that keeps sticking me. We have been -bluntly- ripped off quite a bit, and much of it has occurred recently. Banners, text, sponsorships, etc. will not protect the good stuff.
