A "Game of Thrones"  Open in new Window. by Gaby Author Icon Review


I'm not gonna lie, I always love a good rant. Usually, I'm the one doing the ranting. Whew, where to begin with this? Well, you said it was written in 2002, so 22 years ago. Here it's, good old 2024, with inflation on the rise and everything going up around us; I can honestly say the one thing that hasn't changed for me financially is my membership fee. I started with the basic membership, completely affordable. The more of the site I explored, the more I wrote. With writing comes storage. Static items turned into book items, so I upgraded my membership. And seriously if you do the math and round up, this equates to about twelve dollars a month.

Let's put that into perspective, shall we? Friday night I ordered grinder subs. We used to eat there all the time, but I'm older, work more, and I'm just plain lazy. I hate traffic and people where I live do not know how to drive in my opinion. We are a family of three now. One whole sub, two half subs, which I drove and picked up, no delivery fee involved here, to the tune of forty-three dollars! I am still shocked by this. I had their menu in the draw. They haven't even been in business for more than twenty years. When I looked at the menu, I had stashed at home, and the price of the same food about ten years ago was half what I had paid. I am still scratching my head over that.

As for this site, I commend you for being able to articulate your argument well. I wouldn't have been so nice about it. I remember when the big upgrade was happening here and chatted with a few people and we discussed how much work went into it. Moving a server, trying to make it as painless as possible. All of that took a lot of work on your part, and it's way over my head as to how these things work behind the scenes. This article should be front and center for the newbies, and for the old timers like myself who need a reminder of what is truly Free on this site. It's one hell of a list!
