This is for all of the sniveling brats that are complaining
$30 is nothing compared to what I have learned from this site. I have sold knives here and I am suprised that it took this long to set up a fee. I don't understand why everyone is bitching. Let me use an analogy or two:
Would you let a stranger come stay in your house, eat your food, use your bathroom and then bitch when asked to pay pocket change to cover the cost? No, you would be very offended wouldn't you?
OR
Just think about someone walking into your work place and asking you to do your job for free. I am sure you would laugh at them!!
As I see it, this issue is no different. We have used these forums for free for the past 3 years. So a modest fee is not unreasonable. And if you do not want to pay, then that just should your lack of class, ethics, and values. It also shows your immaturity (sp?). No one owes you anything. Grow up.
And don't tell me you can't afford the money. Just think about the next time you go out for a friday or saturday night. Most times people spend more than that and they have nothing to show for it. ($20 for dinner for 2, $14 for movies, $5 for drink/popcorn). $30 is nothing for a year membership. I understand that some people may be truly strapped for money, but that is not most of us. Especially when we are buying $100+ knives. And the only forums that is going to cost is the FS. The others are still free.
Also I don't see any of you going and starting your own site. To me the $30 is cheaper than the $100,000+ that this site has already cost Mike/Spark/others.
