That have fresh and new ideas. That try to make the community better. This is the core of the problem. Greed! These sites have obligations to the gay community that they become rich off of. It is time that they start doing updates. Not just little updates like gay.com is trying to pawn off at the moment. All of those updates just help themselves - nobody else. I am owner of guyquestlive.com and I for one can tell you that there are people out there that are trying to make a difference. It starts with making features that open the community up - not close it off from the rest of the world and its technologies. The only sites that will work in the future are ones that have totally new ideas and work with the community - not just with their own pocketbooks.

The main site that competes with gay.com these days (for paid memberships, at least) is Manhunt. And their owners donate huge sums of money to Republicans. I'd certainly hate to see them benefit from planetout/gay.com going out of business. I hope they don’t fall under!
