    What, you mean you haven't gotten your invoice yet?

    Boards is like a Yakuza bar. You think you're having a great time, and then you're hit with a bill for 600,000 yen.

    i already pay, i likes me winkin ginger pussaaaay :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    If I had the money to subscribe I would, but the fact is, even 5 euro a month is too much for me at the moment, especially when it's no real direct benefit to me. BTW, S&S is set to be made available without subscribing so a big reason to subscribe is now gone :p


    That said, if it was either pay or don't use it, I wouldn't use it at all.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    Is this a trick question?

    I chose no.

    If I HAD to pay I wouldn't.

    I do pay the subscription though. . .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    I only pay to eat because I have to, nevermind paying for boards :p

    Informantion porn i mean.... the good oul threads of yester-year...


    ahh good times


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭wurzlitzer


    No
    If there was a fee..
    A new forum would ascend
    Tbh I think boardsies would create a new forum

    Maybe call it "thrilling"
    Or after-hours even

    What would ye call the new free forum?
    It would have reference boards in honour of the old free forum ... What da ya think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Why?

    If you HAD to pay to use this place you wouldn't get the same experience here. Most people would not pay to use a forum given there are loads of free forums out there, so this place wouldn't be as active as it is, and even if it was, the crowd wouldn't be quite so diverse.

    Id call it "a bit of craic which leads to offense and moral outrage and lots of moaning"

    United Left Alliance believes that Boards belongs to the people and all moderators are the landlord and banker class. How else can it explain how mods have time to impose their will on us unless they have profited from the workers and have the leisure time to send me pm's during 9-5.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,315 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    LOL, paying for internetz.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 673 ✭✭✭Tubsandtiles


    I think Boards along with other websites is the only reason I pay for the internet, but paying for Boards itself wouldn't be right, I like knowing I can have a laugh with someone without having to spend money I don't have at the minute :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    What's the question again?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    What's the question again?

    Rashers or sausages?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,985 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Not a feckin chance. Pay for this....????

    Go on i dare yiz. See what happens.

    RASHERS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 624 ✭✭✭Crasp


    We already pay for it with the shîtty advertising scalding our retinae every time we log on. I know many free forums which are much better regarding the layout and usability, funded by the site owners. This place looks cheap.


    Ads = greed.




    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭wurzlitzer


    Rashers

    Would you pay for the aul boards me friend
