On the other hand what's being taken away here? What's anyone being asked to pay? How is this anything other than an added extra? As far as marginalising goes, I know more people in Birmingham who use FB (shonky as it can be) on a daily basis than read/subscribe to arts & culture blogs. If CiB was going Facebook only then I'd take your point, but this is a nice demonstration that people can still have a discussion on the site itself Interested by the 'even further' though and by any suggestions you've got for improving CiB.

A great way to marginalise your efforts even further. So everyone in Birmingham who isn’t a Facebook member is to be denied the opportunity to be involved in your discussions.
