I think there are two different issues here. One is the legal/service agreement issue which is for KittyCatS to iron out. The other is how the profilers for many have become and integral part of the KittyCatS experience and marketplace. It is a tool many of us want and it's loss could cut into the KittyCatS current growth and future growth.
I have not been a breeder for as long as those that remember the marketplace before it, but I did wonder for hours among the various marketplaces looking for specific traits and comparing pricing until I discovered how to use the profilers. I prefer the marketplace with the profilers, if they were gone I would scale back considerably on breeding since I know I would not be able to breed and sell at the current volume. I don't think I am the only one, but how will KittyCatS know this if they don't do market research?
I made a career out of doing market research at one point in my life. It is key to customer retention, tracking trends, and planning for future growth of the market.
