Either city of heroes or world of warcraft - whichever we happen to be playing at the moment.

SDMB

Um…Oh - Netflix. That’s it, I think.

Too cheap here to subscribe to anything anymore…

Nothing. It’s bad enough I have to pay for service.

I did have a paid LiveJournal account when I posted there, but I had a massive freakout and deleted the whole thing.

Hulu. Used to be Netflix, but I can’t stream since I moved overseas.  
Spotify - again, I can’t stream using their free version overseas. And not having ads is nice.  
There was a one-time fee for a board where I post a lot.  
And if it counts, I’ve got a couple subscriptions on my Kindle.

Are you talking about porn? Because I would never pay for that. There’s \*so much \*available for free, unless you have a niche fetish I suppose.

I pay for WoW, SDMB, and Somethingawful (although you just pay once for that, it’s not a subscription so I’m not sure if it counts). I think that’s all for now, although next year I’m going to get either Netflix or Amazon Prime (can’t decide yet!).

Netflix, for instant streaming. We all have iPods and the kids can watch a movie (or Avatar: The Last Airbender) all they want. 😃  
Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home Club. She has different walk videos up every month.  
Digital Blasphemy. This is mainly for my husband, but I benefit as well. They have some really beautiful computer wallpapers.  
Domain registries for our two websites, although one will most likely not be renewed in June.

WoW  
Rhapsody

Used to pay for Pandora One, but since that only gets the higher bitrate on computers and not streaming devices like my iPod or Squeezebox, I didn’t bother to renew.

And not a subscription, but since I listen to SOMA FM so much I send them money every now and then.

Finally, with a Roku box on the way I may find more stuff worth paying for, but for now I’m planning on using our amazon prime account for video.

I also had Amazon Prime until a couple of months ago. It was well worth it for me.
