I am in, I hardly consider five bucks for a year to be paying in any meaningful sense. ---

I’m still not sure if I’ll subscrbe yet. I’m pretty sure the tone of the boards is going to change and I really only read/post in MPSIMS anyway. I just don’t think it’ll be the same place after a few months. ☹ ---

If your cc gets processed through PayPal, then… They need to really clarify the payment options. If they have a different secure cc gateway, then fine, no problem. If their cc processor _is_ in fact PayPal then I’ll be saying goodbye forever this weekend. ---

I’ll stay. Because either this will _save_ the SDMB, or destroy it in less than a year. Either way, this is home, so I’ll stick with it untill the end. ---

I’m in too; at least for the first year. This is a nice community and I hope it stays that way. Hell, I spend three dollars for a cup of coffee every day; five dollars for a WHOLE year is nothing. ---
