    I am sorry to add to the 'pile'. I am American but live in the UK. I knew OF Sparkpeople.com because I have been coming here pretty much since the site started!! This is incredibly upsetting to find this news today.

    In the announcement it talks about making it more accessible to people - reaching more and more! How is that happening by closing the doors to the rest of the world?? That's SO not cool!! I have referred countless people here.

    I have spent a *huge amount of time* over the many years - reading articles, logging my stats, utilising the video workouts, finding recipes, joining in on challenges! Keeping up with groups and getting support! I just.. can't understand when SO many people are doing THAT and more - that the doors would close on THAT.. to the public.

    I wish you guys would reconsider this path. Although I can appreciate the need for growth and progress!! I can't help wondering what's happened to the original goal of helping people? Or is money now the ONLY Thing that really matters? (I'm direct!)

    On another note - I greatly appreciate what sparkpeople has done for me (1) over nearly 2 decades of devoted membership and visits! and (2) I appreciate what you guys have done for me being so far away from home too! It's been a LONG time that I've been coming here.

    It's going to be incredibly hard to say goodbye. I'd pay to join the new site! but it sounds like that won't even be a possibility due to regional restrictions! I wish you guys well, I really do, but I am incredibly annoyed, upset and devastated. This is a huge blow to the world really!! I see many others in the comments who feel similarly! please, please reconsider!! Paid membership *Fine*!! Omgsh it's SO worth it!! But please don't strip the entirety of it away from those of us outside the US!!! Please!!!

    I am really sad that you are shutting the world out!
    I have enjoyed meeting and making friends from ALL the World.
    I guess it is time from Sparks to continue JUST in the United States and close the door on their friends from around the world.
    Happy trails to you!I hope it works out for you.
    I do hope you can change your minds and keep the doors open.
    Keep on Sparking your way!
