14. december 2015, 22:03:18 I just checked the conversion rate of Euros into US dollars. If I were today to renew my membership for another year it would cost me $39.57 to do it. I know when you break it down it is just over $3 a month. However I would like to think that for the money I am paying I would see some additional games added or something new during the year to make it worthwhile. I can play games anywhere. Just sustaining the site maybe is not enough anymore. I love playing here. I have my own fellowship and as a disabled person I spend lots of time on the site. Being on a fixed income, I want to know that my money is being utilized in a positive way, not just being taken and nothing new being done with it. 14. december 2015, 22:36:20 Ämne: Re: Ändrat av ThunderGr (14. december 2015, 22:37:17) Brian1971: Objectively speaking, site maintenance costs. The amount of $3/month per subscribed player is hardly enough to support site maintenance, not to even think about improvements and innovations. It is common for people to only think about what they wish for, disregarding the fact that this would cost those granting the wishes much more than they are willing to compensate for. In short: You should be glad that you can play on this site with $3/month, considering that your money is not enough to cover the maintenance costs. This type of arrogant thinking is what leads site owners to shut down their sites and get rid of ungrateful people. :/ 14. december 2015, 23:04:37 Ämne: Re:  ThunderGr: wow don't you think you were a bit harsh!!! Brian was just stating his opinion he is entitled to. Many of us have been here almost since day one. We all enjoy the site that is why we actually PAY for memberships. Merry Christmas to you too! 14. december 2015, 23:11:14 Ämne: Re: beach: So, Brian was stating his opinion being harsh and inconsiderate and he is entitled to do it that way because you agree with it, while me stating my opinion in the same way(while being accurate and consistent with reality, and without the inconsiderate part) is something you think I am not entitled to? Sorry but I do not think you sound any convincing at all :p. Merry Christmas to you, too :). 14. december 2015, 23:15:37 Ämne: Re: ThunderGr: to say we should be thankful is very condescending. Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but I don't think you had to put down Brian's opinion to make your point. 14. december 2015, 23:25:38 Ämne: Re: Ändrat av ThunderGr (14. december 2015, 23:26:50) beach: Of course, I guess you missed the point why I responded to Brian's opinion that way, right? I did not put down his opinion, I just exposed the irrationality and arrogance in using the "I want my money to be put in good use instead of just being taken" argument. Implying that someone gets your money without providing any service in return equals to accusing someone of theft. I think this is especially insulting when you actually receive more than you pay for. And, yes, I think we should be grateful that Fencer is still putting up with that behavior, which I assume was what made him lose motivation for putting effort to this site, to begin with. 15. december 2015, 00:41:17 Ämne: Re: beach: I agree with you 100% beach. 15. december 2015, 00:49:12 Ämne: Re:  crosseyed: I ditto you 100%. 15. december 2015, 01:05:12 Ämne: Re: Bernice:   15. december 2015, 06:31:08 Ämne: Re: crosseyed: How ya going Hun :) long time no see. 15. december 2015, 10:37:08 Ämne: Howdy Bernice: Hello Bernice I am doing good thanks and hope you are to. 15. december 2015, 00:39:48 Ämne: Re: Ändrat av crosseyed_uk (15. december 2015, 00:42:36) ThunderGr: That last part of your message came over as being arrogant in my humble opinion. I will put it down to being lost in translation. 15. december 2015, 00:53:04 Ämne: Re: crosseyed: I said what I wanted to say. If you think it is arrogant for some reason(although I have no idea how that could be, since it is not my site or my work), you are certainly free to do so. No need to blame the translation as an excuse for what you deem improper or whatever. I will never stop being amazed of how people treat the one that exposes arrogance as arrogant. However, I can say I am pretty much used to it by now. You cannot beat people's choice for preferences over truth, anyway. 15. december 2015, 00:55:38 Ämne: Re: ThunderGr: Without wanting to start an argument you come over as being very arrogant. 15. december 2015, 01:08:00 Ämne: Re: ThunderGr: You're alright mate, I can totally see your point of view. Kudos for starting a little Christmas cheer and action on the forum :) ☝ |
