Just went to message a knife maker on something that caught my eye and we have to pay for the service now? How are we going backwards on services? I guess I am use to free everything on forums, messaging, photos and signatures. I know it has always been limited here but to not be able to message someone paying to sell here is a little backwards.

It is not free to run a giant website. The price of the right to sell knives and enjoy direct messaging is in the range of a trip to Starbucks.
