You think Wayne's running this site from the goodness of his heart, just because you don't pay $17/year? No, he's trying to make a profit, just like Rennlist did. More power to them.
Geez...nothing is free, guys.

I totally agree! It was brilliant.
Anybody who can get volunteers to build up their business is great. Getting volunteers to build up the business, and to
pay for the privilege of doing so, is awesome.
Then, after making hundreds of thousands off of those people over the years, you actually
sell the people, well, now that's brilliant.
(And yes, he did sell the people. What do you think the No. 1 statistic the buyer looked at? The number of participants on the website).
Laughing all the way to the bank would be reward enough, but then getting some of those "paying volunteers" who you just sold, to defend you, that's icing on the cake.
Seriously, much props to them. Well done!
