This just doesn't sit right with me. Nats on one hand is like a cult leader to the webmasters saying "come with me children and you will be safe" and some sponsors feel they have no choice but to go with NATS because that is what webmasters want. End result....ONE PROGRAM (NATS) has the webmaster community and a shitload of sponsors by the balls.

You piss off Nats, and NATS will shut your program down. NATS shuts down, and pretty well cripples a shitload of sponsors in their wake. I honestly don't like to see one company have that much power I don't think that makes the industry safer, I think it makes it more vulnerable.
