WTH?

  • Popular Post

Many of us came online tonight to find many changes. especially in the chat room. Most of us are very unhappy with the new changes- we can no longer chat and read posts at the same time, the format is different and we can no longer private message. now we hear about upcoming changes to include "premium" membership? wth?

Many of us have found invaluable support and advice from this site. we look forward to the daily interaction. however, i will not be paying for services on this site. I thought thats what all these ads are on here for.

I, for one, am very upset about these changes that occurred without any notifications whatsoever.

Please, reconsider these changes. why fix something that isnt broken?

All of you who dont agree with these changes please hit "like" or post to show our solidarity. Havent we been thru enough already?!

Sorry this turned out to be a rant, we are all upset right now.

If I pay 5 dollars a day does that include someone working out for me?

Oh and I'm so old I had to look up Bitcoins! :P

So we have to pay essentially to utilize this site? I'm so confused!?!

Five DOLLARS a day ? You are kidding me! It'd better cook and clean for me at that rate!

are you kidding me? going from no charge whatsoever, to $5 A DAY??!?

i totally understand the business aspect of things, and if it were reasonable i would gladly pay for a membership because i think this site is a great resource. but $5 a day? that's not reasonable........

(It was a joke)

I was serious, I will pay someone 5 bucks to work out for me...

I was serious. Pass the fried chicken and go clean out your closet.

Damn you I still haven't done the closet!

See I'm lazy...

OMG THE 5 DOLLARS A DAY WAS A JOKE!

( it's actually going to be 4.99 plus tax)

NO, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY TO USE THE FORUM.

Right now the forum is supported by advertisements.

Some people do not want to see those ads. So for a fee those people will be able to utilize the site ad free.

Offering a Premium membership changes nothing for most users. It offers an enhanced experience for those who are interested in it.

Well this sucks having to now pay for support that should be free what will be next having a tax on oxygen and public restrooms!?!
