its nothing personal you guys, seriously, I’ve enjoyed straight dope greatly. I just don’t think I will become a member. its not hostility or anything, just don’t really like payed membership websites. they aren’t the devil or anything, just not something I personally ever join. no real deep philosophical reason, just don’t, don’t play online RPGs for the same reason, don’t sign up for somethingawful or total fark or any other website, even if the cost is reasonable, no reason why, just don’t.
and so, I’ll be moveing on come april, sure others will be too. its been a blast and everyone was great, but meh, I never really posted all that much anyway, so its not like I will be missed, or anything. but I did (mostly) enjoyed haveing this place around.
so… the big question now is “where too next”? I know for a fact that this is one of the best run message boards on the internet, but it can’t be the only one… what other message boards do people frequent? which do they recommend? where are people that won’t be subscribeing planning to spend their time when this place goes exclusive? if this place was the best free message board in existance, what was/is the second best?
don’t flame me for leaveing or being cheap or being a traitor or something, my decision isn’t anything hostile… some people don’t eat meat, some people won’t wear white after labor day, some people hate peas… I just happen to not join payed (especially reoccuring) memberships to websites at any cost… its not anything personal, or anything like that. I’m a little disapointed and sad to leave, but its okay, I will survive and all… just need some advice on where to go now in my internet life.
