I wouldn't pay either, the owner of the forum makes good money and gets free content for the users posting btw Not saying that for DP in particular, but most forums that get good traffic. If they make money off of their ad campaigns or not however is up to the forum owner on how well they integrate ads.
If I was going to pay for any forum membership out of all the forums I'm a member of, it would be a toss up between DP and the Warriors forum. DP is just too fun not to be a part of, but not for more than $10 a month. The fun would end at any more than that.
Wanna make a deal??!! I'll stop posting on message boards if you pay me $1,337 per month per message board you don't want me to post at!!! Rules: I can post on the boards while you're banned. So, when do you get your 666th infraction here!!!
There are secret sections, they are called the administrators and moderators forum, find a way to hack in and run a keyword search on my user name, send me the data ASAP. PS: VS has a secret forum for her and special buddies too!
not really i won't like to do that, rather would do something that admins and mods invite me to their secret section.
