If you think the userbase is bad now, you're going to find out what's it like when there's no reward pool and it won't be pretty. Probably HIVE's Myspace moment if the reward pool is gone is my guess. All I ask is that if that's the direction HIVE decides to go then at least give those who don't agree with it a few months pre-warning to decide whether they want to stay or leave.
