Basically, I'm looking for your opinion on if the past 3 nights of forum "outage" continue for non-subscribers, would you subscribe or move on. Thanks for your time.

The forum wouldn't be any good just because you can log in. This place is nothing without the rest of fun loving ATOT'ers logged in. You enjoy the interaction. Given that, I'm not going ditch it if the problem can't be resolved by simply using forums2 or forums3.

I'd like to think I'd say yes but when put to the test I don't think I'd bother.

Your poll almost suggests that the outtages are a ploy to gain memberships. I'm considering a membership for other reasons.

I would have subscribed the day it came possible if I would have a way to pay it from Finland.. don't have a credit card.

Not being able to access it from work is the reason I have not subscribed yet and subscribing would not fix that.

Hmm when the outages occur most of the sillyness and stupidity decrease. Coincidence? I think not. That doesn't mean that most who do not subscribe are Nef's because they aren't, it's just that Nef's usually aren't subscibers.

i haven't subscribed _YET_ and i don't know what you are talking about "outages". i haven't experienced any. sometimes it is slow, but i expect that from a free server. but yeah if it went down for non-subscribers, i wouldn't wait for my tax refund...i would just join now. :)
