Remember Glance? That site that used to be free? Dude who ran the site closed it and he's now a FA at TSR.

Ugh! That place is turning into a sort of black hole. And it seems to be spinning faster than ever.

I think the strategy goes like this: "Everything except FA creations are free!! By the close of business this year, we plan to have 98% of our creators Featured!!  " Saying that, I quite like Fresh-prince's cars... |

One-new-FA-a-week seems to be their new PR campaign, yes. Probably to entice subscribers after the mass exodus of subscribers (who cancelled their subs not long ago, ahem ahem).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but do some of these FAs get a say as to whether they get made FA? We know that people like S2S and Forwardmotion got bought over, but I think Jirka mentions on his blog that he wasn't even aware he was going to be made FA, and it just happened and surprised him one morning. Is he talking out of his ass, or does TSR spring a surprise on their old-timers who have lots of downloads and have good FA potential?

I read Jirka's blog, and what I got from it was that he knew he was an FA, he just didn't know when the announcement would be. |

Mkay. I pretty much expect TSR to get up to anything, and it wouldn't surprise me if that was what they did.  |

Well FP started downloading over there, and he was at Saphire Sims to that had a pay part.
maybe if TSR continues to suck up people, and sites disappear like into s2s into paid sub people will get mad at TSR and want change. Can we hope.

I think we can pretty much assume that any site that closes to go to TSR will most definatly be an FA.

I do remember reading that someone had turned down being an FA. Can't remember who it was, but it was before the recent policy change (which was more than 3 months ago now).

I turned it down. I don't think I'm the only one though.
