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...
