I agree with just about everything your saying. Maybe its just being upset that I can't do my final once over. Probably for the best because I am one that changes my wants like 15 times. But, why can't be expect geekmail to be as secure as any other free email service? My point is that everyone seems to be favoring the side of BGG (which is understandable because of the service they provide) but little is discussed on how problems can be prevented in the future. Especially when the site is involved in exchanges of goods and pay-to-use services (i.e. Ad-free, 3% commission). There is nothing like this site but as we ALL believe, board gaming is erupting, and what happens when this site can no longer keep up?
