I've never had one. I was debating subscribing this weekend, actually, but then they increased the bandwidth of the non-subscriber forums. I'll have to see how the speeds are at school, because they're quite nice here at home.

LOL, since so many of em are Boston based I looked around over there but didn't bother joining because I didn't think my style would fit in there !


I'm a happy AT subscriber:)

I'm on the virge of jumping ship... my subscription ends on Nov. 17.

I'll be using an ad blocker after that... so we shall see how much a speed decrease I see.

I thought Elite members got free subscriptions?

You've gotta be kidding me, to be honest I'm glad that Elite members don't get a free AT membership.

Equal and fair treatment for all is how it should be.

Going to that lovely place that Rallispec and Pyonir went? DannyLove said it wasn't all that nice. You may as well just stick around.

Fair -yes - but I'm not at all sure about "equal" treatment. Someday, I predict forums will actually pay certain posters to keep things "lively" on their site.

I didn't renew mine when it ran out a couple weeks ago, but that's only because I spend maybe 1-3 hours a week here max nowadays...just too damn busy for ATOT

Yeah sure it'll happen just after I buy a Sony digicam, in other words, never :D

I'm kind of getting that way too. I lurk a lot and decided to pay for the service (been pretty pleased with it too), but I've been busy lately and will be into the foreseeable future. Maybe if I get a slower connection it'll discourage me somewhat from using the forums so I can focus more at the office.

I probably will. It helps me pass the day much more quickly when I'm at work.

I'm going to eventually sign up for an Anandtech one though.

Who are you?

I've been here a lot longer than you have, thats for sure.. I've been on these forums since 98 in the UBB days, but Arstechnica has been the IT-forum of choice for me. no offence to anyone here at AT, this is a decent place, but Ars is much more laid back, no nazi moderation or free-speech-hindering language filters, you can post images (how cool is this thread: Post your win2k/xp desktops) plus there is a lot less n00bie-moron questions cluttering up the forums for the highly technical questions of the rest

i don't mind the ads too much and the new speed increase is pretty nice. so no subscription for me.
