Admiring the latest AFF Change

Hello folks,

I thought I would log on and check in a bit on the site, read a few blogs and perhaps see if anyone was on.

As I was chatting to a friend in my network, they directed me to see a photo on their profile, and we learned the latest change to the site. Now (it appears), you have to be a paying member to see the pictures even if you are in their network.

So let's get this straight, not only does FriendFinder-x use your profile on other sites (by default you give permission for this to happen), and there are numerous issues with auto-renewal as well as the site going down and features being flaky, now the Powers That Be have decided that your network friends have to pay for the privilege of seeing the pictures you wish to share ...

Maybe I spent too much time as a manager in the past, but why would you adopt a business model where you consistently make it more inconvenient for people to use your site. To me it sounds like a camera store saying:

"Guess what? We know you bought the pictures here, but you can't give a copy of the picture to anyone else, unless they buy pictures from us as well ..."

Never mind that these are your pictures and that FriendFinder-x has a notorious history of using people's profile pictures on "affiliated" sites without express permission ("Hey you never said we couldn't do that!"), members (paying and standard), now no longer have full control over their own property ...

Hope you are all enjoying the latest feature as well as your summer. Ciao ciao folks

 I haven't been able to see friends' albums for at least eighteen months, probably more like two years. I know I've been trying to perv for ages, and I can't. I can only assume that people have the same problem with my albums.

I think it might be time to stick all the pics up on the blog. Although most of them have been profile pics at one time or another, it'd be nice to have them all in the same place.
Do not seek an external refuge, but be a light unto yourself.

 We discovered that their "affiliated" sites don't all play by the same strict rules that A F F chooses to inflict on their standard members here - by meeting standard (non-paying) members from Hot Match... where apparently we have full copies of our profiles that they were able to view in their entirety

Makes even less sense that they make things so frustrating for standard members here...
