Dump it back to $19.95 for the year and even I might consider subscribing

no I'm not expecting anyone else to pay my subscription, I think $29.95 is a bit steep (presuambly $US as well) just remember internet chess shouldn't be the domain of rich cyber-geeks
Most people either blow that much on one night out a week or earn it in a few hours of work.

It would cost you 44.60NZD to become a sub. That is around 4 hours work, less then that if you are earning above the minimum wage. If you would do 4 hours work for a service that you would use for a year then pay. If you wouldn't do the work for the site then don't become a subscriber. I wouldn't say 4 hours work is a lot, you could spread it over 4 weeks and hardly notice it.
Originally posted by Will EverittI believe you have made a great point here, the cost is like 60 per week. In the US that is a can of soda pop. I will gladly give up one can of soda a week for my chess.
