Around the time I joined MFP I also joined a few other websites to help me on my journey, but quickly realised that MFP was by far the best for my requirements, although I did not cancel membership to other websites. I have just had an email from PureLifeStyle saying that they will start charging £3 per month from the 1st of February 2013 (=US$ 4.77).

I hope this does not lead to MFP following suit.

    Most companies are smart enough to realize the right business model is to give for free so you can gain a HUGE group of members so you can then sell advertisements. Imagine if Facebook started charging? A significant drop in users, which means a large drop in advertising.

    I hope you're right.
