In order to offset server costs and bandwidth bills, Something
Awful is charging $9.95 for a forum account registration. As we all know,
the Internet industry is pretty much a craphole these days, and the only way
website owners can break even is by charging subscriptions. I want to keep
the main site and content free of charge, so your registrations and donations
help keep both the forums and main server alive, as well as keeping me out
of prison for murdering advertising executives.
Some of you may have a problem with the notion of this website charging people
for an account. You may say that other forums are free and don't cost anything
to register, so there's absolutely no reason for you to pay money for an account
here. That is fine by me; if you don't want to pay, I will not ask you to
pay. It is a decision completely up to you. The SA forums, however, are a
thriving community full of what I feel to be the funniest crowd on the Internet,
moderated by some of the best mods to ever squirt out of somebody's womb.
We're ad-free, troll-free, and provide the best viewer created content out
of any website. If you feel you would like to join us, I freely invite you
to do so. If you would not like to join or take offense to paying money for
a forum account, I freely invite you to not do so. The choice is up to you.
If you are experiencing any technical problems with the forums or your account,
please contact Fistgrrl who
I believe is the greatest person on Earth. She's done so much work for me
and this website that I fear I'll never be able to repay her. And I won't
because it'd be technically impossible for me to give her back all the hours
she's spent setting up accounts, handling technical support problems, and
doing a lot of work that I don't have the time for. So if you have a problem,
feel free to email her and include a note explaining just how much I appreciate
her support. Thank you very much, Fistgrrl!
