Why would/did you become a community supporter?

I've been hanging out here since it was Eric Noah's Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Rumors page. Its home. When you live somewhere, you help out when you can.

Besides the nice search function which has come in so handy many times, I want to support the one online site I spend most of my time online as well as the community that helps answer the questions that come up, give wonderful ideas, and generally ensures I have entertainment during the times I can't be gaming or spending time with my significant other

Would you believe I won a contest?

Why did/would you get a CS account?

To financially support something which I enjoy. Kind of like NPR without the totebag.

Are you happy with your decision?

Yes, quite happy.

I became a community supporter thanks to a gift from a friend, but I told him more or less what I wanted. At the time, I was on EnWorld every day, and I figured I should support a community I abused to frequently. I've lapsed lately, but I'm starting to get back in my DND groove, so I expect to hang here quite a bit as I build my home-brew world.

I haven't yet because...errr...I'm a cheapskate.

You'll find I've never spent money on almost anything that didn't have tangable benefits. Search MIGHT be enough to make pay someday...it hasn't gotten annoying enough not having it.

As for whether or not I'm happy with my decision...I was until I read this thread.

Xath, don't take this the wrong way, because it's merely on observation in general, and has nothing to do with you, but it does raise an interesting point. You have nominated yourself to be an Ennies judge, and yet you aren't a community supporter?

Obviously there are no rules regarding such, but I can't help but wonder if maybe there should be some sort of post-count limit, and the requirement of a community supporter account before one can become an Ennies judge? It only seems reasonable to me.

Sums it up for me

I've never felt the urge to donate to a website just because I enjoyed visiting it. Until I discovered EnWorld, that is. It helped that I could get a custom title and access to the search function, but in the end, it was because I felt guilty that I visited so often, but hadn't given back.

I don't think that's fair. If that were the criteria, only people who have paid money could be a judge. There are a lot of people with valid opinons who just can't afford to buy a CS sponsorship. Also, a lot of posts does not make one an expert on RPGs and, therefor, should have no bearing on the merits of being an Ennies judge.

What it should be based on is how open minded, literate, articulate, fair, and passionate a person is.
