[QUOTE="Danzauker, post: 5367427, member: 1929"] Not happy at all. First, I'm really mad at having people say that those who sign up for a month every year and get the whole bunch of stuff instead of subscibing every month are "pirates", "without honor" or "abusing the system". Sirs, that'x exactly what I've been doing until now, and I feel greatly offended by this terms. Some are derogatory, and some are outright crimes punished by law in most countries. The next time I'll hear someone bring up them again I'll ask for moderation. Signing up for a month only, is just how the system works. I signed up only when something that really interested was up, nominally FR and Eberron. I don't feel ashamed at all by using the rules fairly at my advantage. This is called min-maxing. People should be used to the term. Next time what? I'll be accused of "abusing the system" because I wait 6 months for DVDs to end in the discount bins instead of buying them on release day at full price?
