Now it becomes quite apparent that the whole move to the new website and account creation system was necessary as part of the larger strategy to create a revenue generation feature.

How very 'old guard' of him.

To me as a fairly new guy this seniority tracking tool was the one thing that gave Curly some credibility. I didn't agree with most of his statements on the facebook page, but I figured he was a well intentioned individual underneath it all. Now that he has decided to make his tool exclusive just before the MOAB it is clear that Curly is not simply donating his services to the pilot group, there is no 'volunteer' spirit there. I guess that is fine as it is not a requirement for him to be generous to his coworkers but I certainly do not have the same opinion of him that I once did.
Wait, why the hatred that the guy is trying to make a little money for owning a website? I'm sure owning the domain isn't free.

Also, aren't there other 3rd party sites that most people use and pay for? Do they show as much hate toward those as they do this?
