Why did you subscribe?

Bought and started running WOTBS and then decided I should really support the site. So really, both.

Community Support.

I had wanted to become a community supporter for a long time (those badges are cool!), but it was very expensive. Or it seemed like it. Changing it to 3 bucks per month finally drew me in; I don't know if it's actually cheaper, but making it a bit-by-bit thing instead of lump-sum was a great idea.

WotBS 4e was just icing. Very, very tasty icing.

EDIT: Oh, and at the time, the Evony adds were getting REALLY annoying. Moving to Supporter took care of that.

I had a CS account last time ENWorld was going through hard times. I'd have done it again already but I don't really use PayPal anymore. So I either need to set up a new account with them, reclaim my old one or find another payment option...

I indicated "Search or other Site Features", but after reading through the rest of the thread I don't think I actually count. I have an ongoing Community Supporter subscription, but I don't think I'll be resubscribing on the monthly payment plan when it ends, especially since I would get penalized for canceling the auto-renew.

Because I think I owe to the community. I first joined to learn about the new addition that was about to come out. Since then I have learn a lot about different approaches that most of the 10+ groups I have played in never even knew about. It also has given me a new way of looking at the rules.

I voted Community Support.

I may not be a prolific poster, but my gaming over the years has greatly benefited from this site. I will continue to support it as long as I can.

Having some free content is a perk, but supporting the site is the main reason.

 

[Thunderfoot]

Currently I am not a subscriber (though I was under the old annual rates). As a member of the ENnie's staff I realize this looks really bad, unfortunately, I am not in a financially stable enough place where I can guarantee that $3.00 a month won't kill me. Maybe this month yes, maybe next month, no.

The content looks cool, but frankly, I just want to support the site. Morrus does a phenomenal job doing something that is basically a job with no real rewards other than letting us all have a place to yell at each other.

Hopefully, I can be in a position to do it soon. (But don't feel bad Morrus, I'm not paying my school loans either. )

(eCheck is currently pending, but I've subscribed )
My primary reason is community support, as I love the community here, but the thing that pushed me off the fence was easily War of the Burning Sky, so I voted for that

I also figured that the recent not-so-subtle campaign for subscriptions means the $3/mo is probably sorely needed.

Like others I've still got a CS account from back in '07 when the server was dying or whatever- mainly it was too good a deal to pass up. But honestly I was intending to buy one anyway when that came along. The deal just cinched it.

However, regardless of what is offered to subscribers I'll keep my account active when my current one expires. For me, the site is just too useful not to support. It's my go-to site for gaming info and part of my morning coffee add-in for Firefox. Honestly where else can you go to where the editors and creators of the games are as much a part of the community as all the other gamers. Heck, I had replies from Gary himself back in the day- you just can't beat feedback of that caliber. And that quality is matched across the board here.

But the subscriber bennies are pretty awesome too!
