Mine ran out as well but I just renewed without testing the nonsub speed.

They're fine right now in the middle of the night, but I'll get back to you tomorrow. My subscription just ran out. :( Time to give up another $30 soon. In the mean time, I've got to clear some PMs out.

yeah my subscription went out a week ago too... so far the slowness of non-sub forums has helped me stay away from this place... ;)

They always seem to be a bit more responsive during the weekends, and every day in the late night/early morning hours. On weekdays during daytime hours though they can be horrendously slow, to the point where some threads never load unless I mash F5 a couple times. :(

just went over to the non-sub server to cause some mischief and it seems a lot slower... but then, my point of reference is the sub server...

It should be faster - the cap has been raised.

$30 down the drain.
:Q

It has been raised, not eliminated. The subscriber servers are still significantly quicker, plus the raised PM limits + no ads makes it a worthwhile investment.

Mine ran out last night, I renewed within a half hour.

No, smart guy, the cap has been raised, but not by much. The subscriber servers are still much faster.

Precisely.

Businesses exist to make money, if a portion of the business is losing money like a plus size strip club then it gets eliminated.
