In any event, I think it's kinda sad that people won't ante up ten lousy dollars to keep this place going. I find it shocking that people can afford computers and Internet connections, but ten extra dollars in a YEAR is all that much of a stretch. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm in school full-time, working a string of crappy part-time jobs, and I managed it. You can, too.
No matter what happens, Interference is not going to be the same in 2 months or so anyway, UNLESS WE RAISE FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TWO MONTHS (ha ha ha!!!). This, my friends, is a strong incentive to start donating, pronto, if you don't want to see a major shake-up.
Otherwise, I suppose it's clear that we'd be going with Option #3: a basic, no-frills free membership, and all the fun stuff we have now for a fee. You'll pry my lovely, dreamy Jeff avatar from my cold, dead hands--so Option #3 it is!
Please consider what Interference means to you. Interference is a wealth of information on almost all topics--music, literature, religion, politics, and on and on--think of it, really, as a pop encyclopedia written and maintained by tons of people you think are cool.
And let me hear not a word from you shit-broke college kids, because I'm one too. And I did it. It's one less night at the club or one less pizza--a YEAR. That's all.
Think of it! A world knowing only Zootopia as its source of U2 online fandom! I looked at that place ONCE and ran right back here! ::shudder::
