At least we contribute to the costs of posting "our drivel".
You do not. You and the "david lynx's" are a parasite in the RHP body. There needs to be change. Free loaders should not be able to post. Thats my position.

If 'freeloaders' never contributed anything of value to anyone, then none of us would have recs.

Plus, who cares about recs? Isn't the issue the spammers that have been hitting the forum and stupid kids posting nonsense?
For the record, I am indifferent on limiting non-subscribers rights to post. If the rest of the paying forum community supports it then go ahead. However, they don't bother me in the slightest.
But skeeter is right about one thing -- You guys are freeloaders. 😛

I don't play on this site.
I come here for the forums only.
And King Arthur's table was round for the same reason that Roman forums were circular:
So that we can think of a number between 1 and 500!
Originally posted by skeeterThat's a bit harsh. There are clearly some "parasites" among the non-subscribers, but I would not include BDP in that group (or TandB for that matter). There are a lot of non-subscribers that make valuable contributions to the forums.

The issue is indeed spam, but the proposed solution (?) by skeeter is to ban all non subscribers from posting, thus taking away the rights of every non-subscriber just to stop the abuses of a few of them.
