    It's actually only $14.99 per year if you don't mind seeing a few ads.

    ...but instead are used as signs of appreciation for posters who fork over 30 clams a year - many of whom just started their third year of doing so and are now in the neighborhood of $100 bucks contributed for the support of this site.

    It's a crazy, crazy world where people who pay get something that people who don't can't have.

    The only reason I bought the membership was to support the site since I've been using it for over 4 years now.

    Some people who use the site may take it more seriously; they pay the extra dough, which comes out to less than .10 cents a day. That isn't all that unreasonable a price IMO. It's a service. However nobody's really limited because you can still post and use the site for free. If people want to have avatars and sigs, be connected to a better server (which may come in handy tonite) and avoid many ads, just do the 30 bucks or even less than that - the 14.99 membership.

    Free sigs and avatars were once available to members of the website. But the website has grown in users since the site's inception therefor some of the features of the site has to be cut for capacity sake. I don't mind the fee. If you like the site and use it, just pay for it like any other service. If people don't think it's worth it, then okay, you don't have to pay and can still use the site. However people that do pay should have something extra.

    i wish huss had a crush on me like he does on tiger...

    Huss is probably using my username as his homepage.
    huss's plans for the day
    4:30 am
    wake up and give pt neg rep
    4:31 am
    waits as the pc loads the page
    4:32 am
    gives pt another neg rep(as has been proven on many occasions he dosen't need to spread rep around like the other users and can give as many reps as he wants)
    this continues until 7:00 am when he heads to work.
    7:45 am he gets to work and rushes upstairs without saying hello or anything he kicks one of the guys of his computer and gives pt another neg rep, the computers at work are super slow(thats one of the reasons why he has came up with the primum membership idea, to chagre ppl and with their money get better computers) so one by one he kicks everyone of their chairs and gives pt neg reps one after another.
    9:00 am all the computers are down and haven't finished loading since huss has used all the bandwidth as a result huss is going crazy and calls some friends to go on their computers and give pt neg reps.
    10:00 am the computers return to normal and huss neg reps pt until it's time to go home (notice huss is the boss of the place so no one can say anything to him, i dunno why they work for him I guess they say he might be crazy but he sure pays good and all we do is talk on the bigsoccer radio where no one even listens to, ez money)
    8 pm huss gets home goes on the computer orders pizza and tells the pizza maker to arrange the mushrooms in a way that reads neg rep pt just in case he forgets his task when he is eating as he believes food should not distract one from reaching their goals, while on the phone he is neg repping pt...
    11:30 pm gets ready to go to bed and keeps telling himself this is the last one but after clicking submit he says what the heck one more this goes on until 2 am when he finally falls asleep.
    4 am the card beside pt's name is green again....

    huss has a crush on me? ahh that explains it.

    Here's a tip:

    If you fashion a little hat out of aluminum foil, the rays from the Mothership can't penetrate your head and read your thoughts.

    And don't forget to stop by the clinic for your meds again today.

    Not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post this...


    Huss, I know I wasn't supposed to bring this up in front of the non-premium members, but I gotta say - the free iPod you sent here is just great. I mean I'll be the first to admit that I was skeptical at first, but I paid the $32 anyway.

    Boy am I glad I did!

    Oh, and also, the high definition video avatars that us Super Premium Members get to create and show off only to other SPMs are just awesome. This clip I have now of the Paris Hilton video is getting all kinds of great responses via PM. And that video converter you provide is just so amazingly easy to navigate through even for this lowly beginer.

    By the way, you never told us before - what exactly do the non Premium Members see in place of our video avatars?


    Thanks for the great site and for treating us rich folks with the respect we deserve,

    Amerifolklegend.

    except I'm guessing that the minority logs a factor of ten as many hours then the majority. Or something like that.

    Or to shrink the size of the sigs...or the size of the avatars...or up the number of seconds between posts...and standardizing font sizes...

    Seriously, they're taking away Premium bells-and-whistles and now you jacknuts want to get in on it for free??

    and RichardL - go into my PF. I resent the fact that you think most sigs suck

    sigs were always this size. the font tag was being abused. avatars have not changed. number of seconds is still 30.

    I used to think Avatars and sigs should have been free, but now I am a paying member I don't quite have the same view.

    I have been dissapointed that the arcade has been down since I became a member, so I have not seen it yet and this is one of the 'extra' things us members get.
