That at least is not a problem, as the premium accounts are introducing them to the site. Werthead Send a noteboard - 17/07/2010 12:46:33 PM
Apparently the concept that not having silly distractions can aid actual interaction is disputed.


So is why RAFO bringing them in and charging them for it and allowing things far worse than other SFF forums?

It just does not compute.
