HOT DEAL! Anandtech Forums for $30/yr.

Would you pay it? Is this really worth it? You bet your azz? I just might pay for it.
HEHE.

 

[domeng]

you must be kidding

 

[unhuman]

Forums are indeed useful. $30 per year will definitely kick me out of here tho.... Just ain't worth that much.

 

[Fritzo]

Yep...too many free forums out there. On top of Anandtech's forums going down all the time, don't think I'd pay for it.

 

[slycat]

nope.
crashes too much
i'll choke down the pop-ups in exchange for no fees.

 

[kingink]

can't post the link as some others were banned for it already.

ah what the hell. if they insitute this I am too cheap to pay.

[TechMonger]

uh $30 bucks?

You have gotta be kidding. People don't even want to pay for email, something used everyday.
As sad I would be, I would use another forum.

[look30]

No way... I can find some other Hot deals forum.

 

[corinthos]

Yeah people would just move to another hot deals forum...

 

[jlee75]

i would pay for it. but as i understand it's up to the person if they want to subscribe or not. it's not a mandatory subscription.

as for paying $2.50/month... that's nothing! from all the money you've made/saved from HD, you should be happy. And to show that you are grateful for this service, I would pay. It's not much.

Maybe if they offered a lifetime subscription for like $60, i think i'd definitely pay for that!

 

[dimwit]

Yea, the hotdeals folks are pretty much a thrifty lot, and I among others would just move on.

 

[vegetation]

It would be a serious mistake to ever charge for a forum. People will just leave to go elsewhere which will have a rippling effect -- less posts, less visits, eventually it will be empty here. Cold deal!

 

[WebDude]

I would do it if they took PayPal, but doesn't look like they do. Wtf is this ibill stuff, anyway?

[rT10]

Not a good deal at all. Eventho Anantech Forums are the best, there are still too many free one out there.

 

[PicPop]

hahaha..it's this a probe thread??? Don't lock it and see how many ppl will wish to pay for it..NO WAY!!..I will just switch to f@tw*llet if they do charge for coming here!!!this is very gay!...

 

[yodayoda]

what are you talking about? are they going to start "charging" to use anandtech forums? after all the ad revenue we generate, that still is not enough? gimme a break, what a load of crap.

 

[jlee75]

I can't believe how ignorant you ppl are. They will not be charging you to use the forum. If you decide to subscribe, you would be getting benefits!! :| I can't believe you ppl. GO TO THE F-ING LINK AND READ!!! :|:|:|

 

[Mileback]

No way!

Sad the days of the free internet are vanishing. Hot mail starting to make it pain to use free service, but all the problems that they are creating can be resolved by paying for service. Anyway I would go elseware.

 

[Dufusyte]

Live free or die.

 

[Pothead]

People are too cheap. The people that create the deals make the forum. What if those that did pay were the big contributors and stayed here? You know FT is the only thing closest to AT. I was there for awhile when they first began, and helped it thrive but they seem to have a few bad apples there that made me leave, one ex. luckyme at FatW.

BTW how much have you saved from here? I know it's lot more than a measly $30.

 

[Jened]

Well if anyone even bothered reading the link, $30 get you more PMs and a faster server. Why shouldn't they charge if people want more functionality. They are still keeping it free. Can't you people read?

 

[Spuffin]

Anyone got any coupon codes for anandtech? PM me

 

[LordSnailz]

for myself it really depends ... if the content on these forums continues the way it is right now or gets better, I'll probably pay ... but what I'm afraid of is that the people posting all deals will not jump in .... hence with lower frequency of postings the forum itself will slowly die ... people will just go to a forum which has the most deals ...

[corinthos]

well my post is back... don't know what's up with that
