PAY for a forum. Goes against every principle of the internet. I hate pay forums as they tend to get extremely elitist, thankfully something the 'cat has managed to avoid. The thought of Max, Joe et al doing all that work for us to spout of either inanely or profoundly and all stations in between, is what makes the 'cat so precious. People who have a principle and stick to it. Another forum that I'm a member of "hatrackriver.com" is run along similar lines, though you have to be a member to get ibnto the forums, it's not paid, and there are a lot of people that use it.
