I'll tell you what, the subscription isn't cheap. €50 for twelve months and the main benefit is to change the user name and access the sex board.

I wonder what goes on in that board to make it worth €50.

Or is it typical Irish prudishness. Mustn't talk about sex, unless it is with the local priest!

There's also customer avatars and taglines plus a few other bits.

Well, there's one easy way to find out

Anyway, if you just want to change your name, but don't have €50 to spare, you can subscribe for 1 month for a mere five of your Earth Euro and change your details (not only name, but Avatar and Tag-Line too).

Do you reckon if you dropped it to €10 per year you'd have more than 5 times as many paying?

It's got nothing to do with being able to afford. It's perception of value.

And yes the sex forum is unreal.... For what goes on there it should be €5 a night not €5 a month.........

Someone inform paypal they will be processing an unusually large amount of payments for boards following that comment

Post in the Helpdesk or Subscribers forum for a name change request.

Also go here and change to the Subscribers group to get your commie stars.

I believe the main benefit of subscribing is the almost smug sense of satisfaction you get from knowing you're giving something back to such an excellent site which has given us all so much over the years. I for one think it's worth it.

The things listed here are just some nice benefits that go along with that. If you think €50 is too much, then just subscribe for 1 or 3 months.

I would like to think the main benefits of subscribing is to support such a good site, no?
