What happens when we're all subscribers? We're all at the same speed then. Kinda like right before the subscriber thing came out. What's the advantage then? Do you "re-subscribe"?

Not that I don't love this place, but that question has been nagging me for a little while.

more subscribers = more money = more servers...i think

Well, I was banned for a while and didn't get prorated, which is pretty sh*tty. Unlike a movie, you're prepaying for a MONTHLY service and SHOULD be refunded for months unused. It's in their contract ToS, although a chargeback would undoubtedly be in your favor - its not legal, regardless of what the contract says.

no, ur paying all at once, so it isnt monthly.

if u subscribe annually, then u dont get charged 2.50 a month. u get charged for the whole year..

Someone said that over 1,000 members have Subscribed, so $30 x 1,000 members is $30,000. I think that's enough to buy faster equipment and connections, don't you?

Being a subscriber is great
