That was very insightful Meine - i.e. that this doesn't really follow the spirit of the "open software movement" and "the fact that there wasn't ample warning given, the fact that the little guys were completely ignored, and the fact the new pricing structure does indeed smell an awful lot like boonex was just sucking people in for a few years, perhaps using a lot of free help... ". I don't think there were any bad intentions, and my guess is that they will make some kind of see more arrangement to sell at the old prices for a period (why wouldn't they? As long as they gave sufficient time period it would be an obvious win-win deal). On another point though, I think this was a mistake because they gave up a position in the market - as the low/cost and free, but feature packed social network destined to be HUGE (think Craigslist, etc). Now they are in danger of becoming "just another software company" (in fact, one of the pricier ones). It may be that now they won't be "the next big thing" or reach their "connecting the world" goals.
