Originally posted by PocketKingsYeah, you're a good role model for 'contributing to the world'. 🙄 You're already making an excellent sales pitch for joining the site - people usually buy something if you abuse them long enough. 🙄

Maybe they are unemployed, disabled, otherwise challenged, but I don't think that they are too poor to find a measley $30 a year from somewhere.
What's your reason for not subscribing, Doctor?
I know a couple for certain can't afford to.
The reason I haven't subscribed is to a great extent due to the phsychological pressurising by other people on the forums. 6 games is ok for me and clans & tournaments I wouldn't participate in anyway.
If I could subscribe and not have to have a star [or any other device showing that I had] I would do so tonight.
Then you all wouldn't be able to mock and harrass non subs though so I guess that's out.
edit;btw, I apologise for calling you an idiot.

Why spend $30 dollars or the English equivalent when perfectly happy with the basic six games allowed for non subscribers?
This looking down upon those who don't subscribe is nothing more than a reason for some subscribers to act as if superior.
I don't see whether being a subscribing or not affects/effects the content, quality or quantity of the authors posts.
