No. Seriously. What's the reason for the change?

Clarity said so.

Seriously though, some media folks contacted the site and were very cordial in their requests for linking and small summaries. We decided it was a better policy for all articles instead of just the few sites that requested it. Afterall, it is about the web hits.

Nothing major...worst case scenario, someone may have to register at a site to read the articles.

Just this forum?

I understand the reason for the change, but I think it kinda sucks.

Call me lazy, paranoid or whatever, but I am much less likely to click on a secondary link to read an article.

Like I said, I understand the motivation behind the change, and I suppose I will adapt.

Me too but understand the change.

On the flipside, it can be overbearing at times when there are 5-10 articles in a row in a thread (especially a game thread). That is one upside of this change, imo.
