i fully agree!!! i definitely wouldn't play if my league was co-ed. i only play with guys if it's just for fun. my league (terminal city rollergirls) is all female and it's definitely going to stay that way. as far as this corporate takeover shit, i'm afraid because i've seen it all too many times where all these promises get made and then the corporate realizes they're losing money and try to find ways to turn a profit. i'm trying to stay open minded about it, which is why i haven't commented on the thread, but i have yet to see an example where this type of alignment has allowed things to stay "for the people". like a few, my heart sank. i love VIP and want to stay one, but if this place ends up becoming one giant pop up or i start getting ads in my messaging based on key words in my posts, or i start seeing promotions for vanilla joe-blow motorbikes.com i may have to jump ship on paying for this.
