PLEASE keep it to paid members only. We are happy here. Now it is much easier to ignore that forum along with sponsors.

There is only 2 reasons people do anything...money or sex...I will let you figure out which one causes them to keep the POD...

Is this ^^^^^anything like drug addiction, alcoholism or any other addiction?
Are you saying that if you were a paid member before the change that you would not be able to resist going there?

How can that be? He's one of the people chosen (read that as "chosen people") to form the new rules governing the POD. Then again with respect shooting unarmed people, when you come to invade another mans country especially one with "a rifle behind every blade of grass" you would be wise to bring one of your own.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay money just so they could argue with people on the Internet.

It is a win-win-win scenario for the operators of this board... by making the POD pay-to-play it places a filter on participation, because no one is going to pay to be abused. The result is a calmer more peaceful board that is easier to moderate. It also is now a new source of income for the board that right-wing zealots are happy to pay in order to "win" the Internet. Finally, it hides the filth that goes on down there from the general public, likely satisfying some of the sponsors who objected to some of the rhetoric.

win-win-win
