If he didn't become a member in the first place none of you would have known. Nothing has changed; I don't get this "no warning" stuff. What did they ahve to warn you about?
spdude paid a lot of money for this site. He owns it. He won't do anything to ruin it. It would be a bad move for him. If anything he'll make it much better than it currently is. (which is mighty fine if I say so myself). He's made many sites better and I won't be surprised if he does the same for KH-V.
