I re-upped on 4/18 (and immediately cancelled the subscription) simply because I had too many PMs I didn't want to lose for deals that weren't quite finalized yet. That's literally the only "benefit" I'm actually seeing, and even then its not much.

How many PMs do peasants regular users get these days?

I'm glad we waited until Scott when on vacation to start this thread
I started this pretty much same thread last month lol.

I got trolled instead. I think it helps that Lars is supporting this renewed effort.

What shocked me about that thread was that Vendors only get 1500, yet mods get 5000.

When Rick was running the place, I assumed everything left after overhead was spent on gummy bears, blow, new Escalades and pizza for Scott. Where does all this subscriber money go now?

So the picture that was posted with the list was made back when Rick owned the site. So I do not know if IB has even looked at it, or if it needs to be edited. Below in red are my comments to the list.

  • What is the actual size difference between supporters and peasants?Don't know
  • Avatars, yes. Profile pics? Again, img tags and links seem to work for everyone. You may be correct.
  • 500 PMs? I need to check that, I just maxed mine the other day and I don't feel like there are 500 in there.You should get the 500
  • What exactly does "full signature access" mean? Seems like its pretty open to everyone.I think you get more lines in your signature
  • Bullshit, I'm capped at 100 images. I don't even bother to try anymore. Honestly never used this feature I could check on it
  • Yes, I have a subscriber/supporter icon.Damn right you do
  • Ok yes, I have a custom title.You have a custom title that you choose
  • "When available" nice use of qualifier. Unavailable for 2-3 years now?I am at the mercy of when IB sends me stickers, I told Nolan recently that I needed more and had a long list of subscribers that were owed stickers

So that's what, 3 for 12? Please feel free to edumicate me/us

I have not seen financials since IB took over, but I knew when Rick was running the site the left over money after overhead and such was not an extremely large amount.

That I can believe. Rick's wasn't getting as much money for ads since he was small time. Plus his ads weren't nearly as invasive or shitty as the ones on here now.

I've been on various forums since 2001. I've never ever ever had a PM box this small on any of them.

I had to fix the image. I am not old enough to run in 2016, but I am glad to see that I could get at least 2 votes if I decided to run. Now to go talk to the Koch's to get serious funding and my campaign kicked off right. As president I promise that ever man, woman, and child will have a miata in their driveway!

Am I allowed to part mine out after a few months? If so, you have my vote.

Yes, but don't be surprised if you walk out one day after the part out and there is another one there. There will be no more US car company bailouts, only Mazda getting a large payment for 300 million miatas.
