I'm Category B. I declined to renew when my subscription ran out. I just prefer the give-and-take dialogue that occurs on discussion forums, compared to the "ivory tower" posture that is adopted (by necessity) by "expert" writers.

I also think the quality of writing is adversely affected by the pressure to produce X number of articles per week, month, etc. Since I personally know a number of current and former officiating.com writers, I know that the "publish or perish" syndrome is something they all had in common as a significant downside to the association with the webzine.

Don't know how I'd "fix" any of that, but those are my impressions.
