Remember when everyone was selling their soul, having fun playing the silly game at [http://www.soulxchange.com](http://www.soulxchange.com)? They’ve changed it. Mangled it. Someone else took over and now it totally blows. I don’t have time to research all my souls on a daily basis. I don’t have time to keep an eye on what rank everyone I own is, or figure out “when to sell” and all that crap. There are now different “levels” and if a soul you own moves up to the next level, you no longer own them. Apparently, they just go “poof” from your portfolio. I got back from vacation, been getting caught up with my life, decided to go check out sxc and see how my soul was doing, flip my portfolio, etc. I had left with around 25 souls owned, each earning me between $500 and $10,000 soulbucks a day. What I had left was 2 sort of lukewarm souls. I dropped from rank #128 to #871, and with no souls in my portfolio, I had no way to regain much of it easily. Screw this… it was fun as a game. It sucks as a JOB. Anyway, they ruined something I liked to play with and so I’m whining about it. Figured here was as good a place to whine as any. Harumph. ---

You think _you’re_ pissed? I had the exact same idea as SoulXChange years and years ago, when I was but a wee tot and the Internet was something only antisocial Star Trek nerds used. I was so irked that somebody actually had the same idea as me that I’ve been boycotting the site ever since. And, boy, I’m sure they miss my presence… ---

Sorry, bro, but she died a couple months ago. ☹ She was a real icon of the internet and is deeply missed. ---

Can we _please_ do something to stop random newbies from rezzing old threads? ---
