We Originally posted by PocketKingsI think we have gone through this topic umpteen times and I have lost count of how many times the subs are always the first to start the war about the non-subs doing this or that without having to pay for anything. Basically I subscribed because I want to play in tourneys and clan games and yes more extra games and that is about all. If that is the way you feel, you should just remain as a non-sub. We were all once non-subs before becoming subs so stop picking on the non-subs.
I've mentioned this in general forum during the middle of some long threads so it didn't get much attention. But a lot of non-subs are really starting to get annoying and they get are getting such a great deal from this site for $0.00 (nothing). They rub it in all the time and say how we subs are suckers for putting up money to support this site. It ...[text shortened]... y annoying (i'm just saying what i know alot of you have been thinking). down to the non-subs!!

The Forums are for everyone subs or non-subs and whether anyone likes it or not it will remain that way. The main idea of the forums is to communicate with each other, sharing ideas and thoughts and so on and so forth. Everyone do have faults and subs are no exceptional.

So PocketKings, I assume you paid the subscription fee to get a special status in the forums? Pathetic.
I'll repeat it: the forums are for everyone. You don't pay to be treated better in the forums.
On the contrary, I think the best of a forum is that everyone is equal and allowed to voice their opinion. The only thing you are doing right now is discriminating.

PocketKings - Jean Hebert is a non-sub. He is one of the only (perhaps the only) IM playing here. Would it be sensible for Russ to kick him off for the sake of £20?
Bowmann - For better or worse, you are in a class of your own.
Xanthos - Perhaps your post was ignored cos it was quite similar to mine, but a bit more wordy. As a non-sub I have to ration EVERY WORD.
Darvlay - How about a rematch sometime? My rating has taken a bit of a hit though.
Russ - Please god let me pay by cheque. Or washing your car, or something.
Mum - I'll ring tonight. Promise.

Originally posted by XanthosNZLol! I didn't ignore it! I thought it was elegantly put. I didn't think you were just looking for kudos. 🙂
That huge block of words back there with my name next to it? It took me a damn long time. And you bastards are just ignoring it.

Originally posted by PocketKingsIf RHP had anything like the restrictions you are advocating I wouldn't be here. I'm sure many other subscribers can say exactly the same thing. In the end RHP is a business. Russ has to do what he feels is best for the site. He, in his (in)finite wisdom has set the non-subs restrictions where he believes is best to encourage people to join and still have something worth subscribing for. To my mind he has it right on the money, so to speak.

If you want a chess site with different restrictions then make one.

Originally posted by PocketKingsThanks for your kind message. I would appreciate more of it. In fact more kind words of this kind the more the better. Anymore? Seriously I couldn't care less about whether you are a sub or not because apparently the non-subs are very much better mannered than you. You are acting like the whole world is owing you something just because you subscribed.
wow, talk about missing the point. i get it ok, many of you that have been around for years made your points and i see what you mean. and I'll pick on whoever i want to pick on gregorytan. welcome to my list you d&*che
