[imported_Pablo]

that's dumb. a sucker born every minute i guess.

I wish I had thought of it.

 

[Riceball]

Goddamn, you practically have to pay for every tiny feature.

 

[FeuerFrei]

what if you pay to change your custom title and then someone else pays to change it, do you have to pay again to change it back to what you wanted?

 

[Syringer]

How awful.

 

[imported_Milo]

It's only $25. What's that, the price of a lunch and a DVD or CD?

For people that spend enough time on forums to rack up thousands of posts, that's not too steep a price for entertainment.

agreed. SA forums are ten times more entertaining than ATOT

Not that ATOT doesn't have its place

ATOT is great for a lark

no it's not... not if it rids of ads and stuff. and milo is right.. it costs a movie.. and considering how long i've been here.. it'd be worth it

BUT, that all depends on how much they want. The 6/mo $30 subscription model we had here... a bit too much. bandwidth and storage cost money... and I don't know how ads are supporting it, I generally ignore most ads out there.

Heh, it's also free and not blocked by WebSense at the workplace.

Not that I'm a huge fan of SA (I like their frontpage more than their forums), but I do read it and have a vanilla account there. Not a frequent poster, though.

 

[brtspears2]

At least SA has mods that ban people for posting worthless threads, stop pointless trends. Your $10 is on the line if you say something stupid, so it is your incentive not to post anything non-insightful.

 

[InlineFive]

If The Boss decided to have those rules would you go into withdrawal? :Q

 

[ultimatebob]

I would pay to change the custom titles of a few people around here, but only if they're stuck with it for a few weeks before they can change it back. Muhahahahah!

 

[Xylitol]

Welcome back
