Obligated to serve.

OK, we don't know what the JRoller terms of service are going to be, but now is definitely the time to take a stand against the giant freedom hating global JavaLobby comglomerate that has taken over FreeRoller. As Chiara has pointed out, JavaLobby is obligated to provide free weblogs, free bandwidth, free file storage, free system adminstration services, and free support to anybody and everbody who wants a weblog - all without charging a dime to anybody, placing any advertisements, or restricting anybody elses right to place advertisements. If JavaLobby somehow weasels out of this obligation, then Anthony Eden must do it. He should be put under house arrest and forced to again serve the community that he started. If Anthony escapes house arrest, then the Roller authors should be put into bondage, have their assets siezed, and be forced to comply with Chiara's every wish. As I have said before: if, at this point, you do not know that I am kidding, then you are an idiot.

Listen Dave, I am really grateful to you for writing Roller and to Anthony for creating this space for us. I really loved FreeRoller and had some of my best days there. I feel like i am being evicted from my home. But, rules are rules, freeroller no longer. I am not putting on any demands. I simply understand that JRoller is not the place for the likes of me and I part ways. Excuse me if i felt a little angry. After all, this place has been my emotional home and other freerollers have been my community.. but, such is life..

I have absolutely no idea why you feel that way. I'm baffled. Why don't you wait until you see the terms of service before you prejudge.

Well, people might be interested in www.cheblogs.com which uses roller and has been to date very open minded. Check out the space, and don't waste too much time looking for the rules! A number of great bloggers have moved from freeroller, blogger and other services. We are currently at 0.97.1 but heading to 0.9.8 when 0.9.8.1 hits the sourceforge or there abouts. Welcome all, Brian.
