What happened to Bigger Pockets?

[Marvin S.]

Did you guys hire a facebook reject developer or what?

What happened to the free and social interchange of the educational and competitive thougths of memembers?

Do you have to be a pro member now to ensure that the bandwidth you found from the many data base enginners or who the hell determines whats allows, that you replace every single year, does not exceed budget allotments?

Your face has changed. 

The side bars pay for the bandwidth. Yup, I know they do. Looks like a google expired listing.

Threre is no free expression to share what members want to share, unless you are a Pro member? Can't be because the cost of living went up for BP. Probaly generating more money from the ads in the sidebars than new members who are at least willing to commit.

Bigger pockets membership is only surpassed by 1 social media in a REI platform, and it aint FB or LI.... The other have no ads or distinguish between levels per subscription unless elected to do so.

Hi @Marvin S.

I'm the Community Manager here at BiggerPockets. 

I'm not sure the issue you're having. You do not need to be a Pro member to interact in the regular forums. You do need a Pro membership to view the Pro-Only Forum and a Plus or Pro membership to post in the Marketplace, but any member can interact in the regular forums and will always be able to.

The podcast, blog and member blogs all share immense amounts of information accessible to anyone.

What specifically are you having an issue with?
