When I first heard about FFFSS I thought it was a good idea.. then I delved into the actual rules and it became clear to me that it's just an elitist group where same-minded sheeple congregate.
Agreed, and I think that's the general consensus around here, hence why there's no thread about them.
That site may not be a big deal to me or to allot of other people, but obviously it is important to some people and they are people who are FOR freesites. They may be self-important and in ways they may actually be hindering the anti-paysite movement, but their feet are at least pointed in the right direction.
Oh, it's most definitely self-important and is indeed hindering the movement because they're playing language games. For starters, the emphasis on "we are FOR freesites" makes me look askance at the whole deal. I've yet to hear of anyone taking an anti-freesite position, so explicitly stating your support for freesites as if it means something is a lot like party politics and a bunch of hot air.
