Re: Opera Forum - The Lounge

I just had a look-see. Not impressed. The new effort is considerably less than the site we had.
Note: True, MyOpera was free. So is this site we're on right now. So is Vivaldi, 2liv3 and millions of other sites on the Internet. It's not the price that's the problem.
Right now, I'm paying to have my own "domain name" on my blog. I'm considering-- seriously considering-- paying more for the premium there. It looks like, with a bit of imagination on my part, it might be worth it to pay upwards of a hundred and a half per year to have blog space that allows me to do what needs doing. The premium allows 13 gigabytes of storage, so there's space to store photos to use there and elsewhere. So-- it's not the price. It's the way the people in charge regard their users that make the difference. When Opera ASA made it plain that MyOpera was for their amusement and when they got tired of it they were ready to run us all out of town, that told me that I needed to go elsewhere. Now they put up something that isn't half what we had and think we should be overjoyed-- nope, not gonna happen. Free or at any other price.
