As a non-sub, all i have to say is that the systems fine the way it is, Rave and MrX are on the money. People who want to subscribe will do so, no need to hand out freebies to people who are unlikely to subscribe (i.e. me).

The purpose of this site is to allow people to play chess.
Subscribing allows people to play more games and to represent themselves (tuornaments/sieges) or a virtual team (clans) in exaclty the same game - chess.
Other than this Subscribing allows you to 'rec' and 'alert' other users posts, and to load upto two pictures to the site (profile pic and avatar)
Imagine playing twice the number of games you are now - yes that's it, you are clicking on 'Move' twice as often! Now imagine clicking 'rec' below this post 'cos it rings true. Imagine being able to upload a Maple Leaf as your Avatar.
If all that appeals to you then pay up and subscribe. If not, quit whining.

Originally posted by King ScottyI'd love a free trial, doesn't mean i'd subscribe though, and that's the point really. I don't have the time for more than 6 games (that's just me), more importantly though, quoting Ravello,

'It would lead non subscribers to create hordes of multiple accounts to join tournaments'.
Until that point can be addressed, there's no point persisting Scotty, as the leechers would kill the site and ruin it for everyone else.

But if you are very worried, ask Russ to take payment a different way.
I've known people pay by Personal Cheque, and have myself paid through PayPal just today.

Originally posted by RavelloA site idea is not whining, otherwise you would have to change the name of this forum. Maybe this forum should be called "Thinking Outside the Box". Positive people are able to do this and make good ideas into reality. Negative (dysfunctional) people are argumentative and afraid of change!!! P.S. Rav, your personal sub money pays for me to tell you to "GO AWAY". 😀
YOU must quit whining.
Fork the cash otherwise stop whining and be happy with your six games.

The idea is without merit. What would be the reason for subscibing. The debate is pointless in any case, because I'm pretty sure Russ aint stupid. Hell, I may be stupid in comparison to Russ (a genius compared to the muppet that suggested this idea), and I wouldn't do it if I was running the site.
Whinge and whine all you like, it aint gonna happen, get over it.
