With logins, that changes." Why? How does a login (that is not mandatory) change it from a "community thing" (whatever that means) into something else? Planet.mysql.com is a community resource and always will be. It lives on the same infrastructure as the other .mysql.com sites (as it has for the last 3 years), and was, until this change, a separate codebase that required separate maintenance, and if we wanted to do combined stuff was a pain. Should I mention "Sakila Points" at this point? With this change we now use the same codebase as the main sites, with a lot better capability to provide the integration that you sought a few years back. “the nice thing about planetmysql.org was that it was a community thing, not aimed at getting leads for MySQL or whatever.

Still, the nice thing about planetmysql.org was that it was a community thing, not aimed at getting leads for MySQL or whatever. With logins, that changes. Not sure that's a good idea.
