That's really unfortunate to hear. As an LP'er myself now, I was unaware that anyone would even bother paying for something like that. I wouldn't pay for a forum I'm unsure about. I pay for PubClub membership here simply because I like this website. I'm sure others feel the same way about this particular one you're speaking of.

I have an account, I was really into the forum, the Lps, the Batman shameful secret and you could learn a lot, the 10 bucks and the bans were a way to keep the forums full of content.

But, I changed or they changed, or something, because it's just weak, boring and isolated, the funny threads were less funny, the ones that i cared i couldn't keep up with them, topics about weird news that day were banned.

Also, I was kind in a neurotic depression when it clicked with me, when I was getting out of it, and seeing things more brightly (thanks in no small part to my little pony), and they keep up, pony threads are banneable.

And it's a shame, there's a lot of awesome talented people there, but it's a pretty hateful place.

Edit: What the hell, i put my account again, and it seems i'll be losing a lot of time

I've seen several people with pony avatars who don't seem to be banned, so I'm not sure it's that bad.

I haven't been in the forum in two years, and yeah, I think I'm going to give it another chance.

The forum is pretty big, go were you want to see and talk of the things you like, and also had more than 10 dollars of entertainment from the place.

My only regret is that I haven't been able to keep up with the PYF safari cataloging the worst of the internet, be it bronies, weeaboos, social justice warriors, or other nutjobs.

They've been doing this for ages. If you have to pay $10 for an account, it cuts down on the number of spam bots, etc.

Their site their rules.

For the LPs, I feel that if you don't want to pay then you don't have much reason to be there and might as well just wait until it's on an open host.

When Lowtax was speaking at the UIC many moons ago [www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gvo1uWAhHc], he said the $10 registration fee was a buff for the banhammer. The other tens of dollars are clearly a different story.

Just going to update things. They dropped the price gate. Like they always do. Put it up for a cuople weeks to get more members, then take it down again. You can go back to lurking.
