You may be correct Gerry but I bet the ones that thought they were higher class would have thought so anyway, regardless of their account.

Don't you think that premium account gave them something concrete as oppose to just an attitude or air of superiority?
 
This is something we don't want to happen regardless though or it'll tear MFK apart as well. A lot of people don't think the same way we do. If they already prefer to ride on their high horses, then there is nothing we can do to change that. It will still tear the community apart. It's why personally, I am still wary about having premium memberships. The perks are a bonus but it draws the line where people will think they have a sense of entitlement having been able to pay whereas others cannot. This just throws off the balance of the community. Maybe in time, I might actually agree on the membership fees if what I foresee won't actually happen.

honestly im surprised at how many NO answers there are. i would have thought more people would want to support the site. ill tell you one thing though, im glad Li is the one running this site. even if i had the money to pay the out-of-pocket expenses, i wouldnt do it. i would have changed a lot of things. Li's passion and love for the hobby is the reason we're all here if you think about it. And for those that say they wouldnt pitch in a measely $1 a month, well I just don't get it.

I'll by a shirt or even a keyring but i refuse 2 pay id rather sit wit the riffraff all you premium guys go ahead wit ur fancy i'll do anything 2 talk about fish talk...........
