Profiteering sounds more like the reason for subscriptions as I'm sure a domain and server doesn't cost that much to run.QUOTE]
You work for free do you ??
What is $5 dollars for a year worth of subscription ,thats about 0.01369863013698630136986301369863 c per day BIG DEAL.
I dont recall seeing anywhere saying it was compulsory for anyone to visit this site and if the fees are too much for you try using something like ebay where you pay for each item you want to sell
Seriously folks if you dont like the way the site is run bend down and pull the plug from the wall
For myself i think the site is run considerably better than most i have visited
Keep up the good work
