But that's fine, that's my problem, not the website's. And I wouldn't mind losing my signature; I barely use it, and it's one of those small vanity things you might expect from a subscription fee. But one thing I don't understand and never liked about EN World was that the search feature required a subscription. It seems counter-intuitive to me; every other forum I've ever frequented made a habit of encouraging people to use the search feature, encouraging them to read old threads instead of starting a new one about the same topics every month. Giving everyone access to search means fewer new topics per day, which means less bandwith is used, which means costs go down (I think. I might be betraying my utter lack of knowledge about the internet/finances, here). So... kill sigs. Kill avatars, images, pretty fonts. But give me search. And then I'll be a happy (albeit non-paying) customer.</blockquote>
