see moreNo UFO, you won't have to pay to post if your an actively licensed member. Andrew stated that higher up in the comments that if your a current member you will not have to pay and if you have a license you will not have to pay.
This is more to discourage, get rid of the spammers/scammers that come in here, don't use the software and disrupt Unity. HL and I do a great job of disrupting Unity on our own, we don't need those with no investment interfering with our hard work at interrupting things.
its not ridiculous at all to pay for membership, its ridiculous that not paying as gone on for so long in my opinion. No other proper support site is free, and neither should this one be. Take somewhere like IPB, you have to have a valid licence and pay something like $25 every 6 months to even view that forum and that system works well. This is the best thing that could have happened to this site i think. Im gunna miss my sexy love letters though from all my spamming girlfriends " NOT!" see more LOL...
