The original question was..........why does WGT do this when no other site does? While renni has seen all the previous threads, I guarantee, he asks a valid question. Why all the maintenance for a supposed free site?
I don't care, and will do the minimal maintenance, but I still scratch my head over all the "work" one has to do here but doesn't anywhere else. It's horrible business for WGT to be honest. They are very lucky they have a great concept worth the trouble.
