""The Tragedy of the Commons" is an influential article written by Garrett Hardin and first published in the journal Science in 1968.[1] The article describes a dilemma in which multiple individuals acting independently in their own self-interest can ultimately destroy a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long term interest for this to happen."
Sound familiar?

The management of commons have been an issue in England since large amounts of public farm land or 'commons' were made available to farmers. Instead of over-farming, we have people doing multi opt-ins on credit cards and scaring the customers. Then there are these other guys giving away free stuff to the customers so that noone even wants to buy the stuff we have.

On another note- did you guys really think it would stay like it was forever? You say The Hun and the TGPs are losing traffic? Could that be because HE HASN'T UPDATED HIS FUCKING SITE SINCE 1996? Same for the rest.
You are surprised people don't want your 16 pic galleries and 2 minute clips? Do you actually surf that shit yourself when you jerk off? Why would you expect your customers to put up with that shit and stick with you if you don't even like it yourself?
