posted by Zunardojjhuddle going to $12 bucks a year wasn't a big deal. I got more than my money's worth of entertainment during the football season alone before it went back to being free.
I think part of the issue was that the $12/year came after a "One time fee of $10" and it pissed the people off that already paid. Or maybe I am misremembering, it's been a long damn time. Overall, though, I agree that $12/year isn't bad for a site like that.
