    $150 for a lifetime subscription? I'm 50 now with about 25 years left statistically. That is $6 per year.

    There are people here who are about 15 and thus have 60 years to go. They would pay $2.50 per year...

    I think it's only fair that the elderly of Apolyton get a huuuuuuge discount.

            so you are using our server resources without contribution to the expenses of the site thus increasing the cost for everyone else.

            it's obvious that it doesnt make sense that you pay for something you can already steal

                    once before,i ran poly without add blocks to help out. like i did with several other sites i like. besides the spyware and tracking cookies i picked up,and the britney spear adds(and on a family site ) one thing led to another and i had to reinstall windows because it was to corrupted. almost certainly your adds were not directly responsible and i am not accusing you of anything-but they certainly helped,along with every other site spamming stuff into my system. the net is simply to toxic to use without running so much security that it feels like fort knox in here,at least with windows

                    i am not sacrificing my puter to help poly.

                    btw the data center our server is in has a total connection of 10 Gbps
                    slightly higher than mine,but mine isnt hosting apolyton,which would lower your available resources drasticly hmm? my serv is currently not hosting any major products,not like this


                    you sidestepped my other point,which is why i would take money i have allocated to other things and pour into poly.

                    just in the last month have i increased time spent here to a significant ammount-i may get PLUS even if you wont change my title.but it is somewhat dissapointing. webmasters at other such sites for RTS such as heavengames have given me this free,and i keep HG adds on,because i know zen is pressed for cash to keep it up,even at security risk,not because he said 'pay or else'

                      Disappointing????? You just said that somebody else has given this to you for "free"... and you leave the ads on for them... but here, you don't even leave the ads on, yet the risk is the same, but you still want special rights that others don't get...



                      The owners here have kept the site free to all. For people who are willing to freely contribute, they give them some special perks... but ALL the content here is available to EVEYBODY for FREE. They demand nothing.

                      If you want "special" perks, don't you think you should give them something for it? Hell, you even block the ads but you are disappointed that you don't get special treatment...

                        cookies dont corrupt your windows and we dont run spyware

                        we never had custom titles, we kept a civ tone to the forums. plus, our (volunteering their free time) staff (and i use the term due to the proffessional behaviour) have enough workload to moderate forums, the last thing we need is to have them moderate custom titles...

                        and i keep HG adds on,because i know zen is pressed for cash to keep it up,even at security risk,not because he said 'pay or else'
                        when did we blackmail people to get PLUS?

                          im not asking for special treatment. just a simple 3 words under my name,and why is that not allowed with the 12 month package?

                          its markgs right to say i have to pay 135US to get it,and its my right to be dissapointed with that

                            I had begun working on my response below before either Markos' or Cataphract's latest posts were published. Some of what I address has already been touched upon now, but I'm going to leave my response "as is".

                            Originally posted by Cataphract887

                            There is no, as you say, "pay or else" attitude here when it comes to PLUS.

                            Just as you have the choice whether or not to subscribe to some level of PLUS (of course we are biased on this point ), we have the choice what to offer those who take out any PLUS subscription and what lifetime subscribers get above and beyond that if anything. We have chosen custom titles are one of those 'beyond' extras.

                            As you have already alluded to, lifetime subscriptions are not the only options available when it comes to being a PLUS member. You can subscribe to PLUS for as little as $2US/month. The offers are on the table: you can accept, outright reject or not even respond to one or more of them. Again, your choice.

                              some of the benefits are first introduced for the lifetime subscribers as an added bonus for their added support

                              we may have it in a few months for the regular PLUS users. we'll see....

                                never said they did. but they do slow things down,particularily on modem. i might not care if i was on high speed

                                when did we blackmail people to get PLUS?
                                not blackmail. just if i dont pay,i wont get it.

                                then i have a better connect to mine. theres a difference in real connect speed by 1k\sec. that prolly dosnt interest you,but i am on modem so

                                if you *are* considering it in the future,that would be cool.
