I'm poor. Is that reason enough?

There are no poor people in Sweden. It is a social democratic paradise where the State does everything fantastically and people pay their taxes in ecstasy.

I belong to too many membership sites and I don't like chess mentor.

I've been considering it, but at this point, I don't feel I would gain *too* much from being a premium member. I'm still figuring out what the free service does (and thus far enjoying it) and I don't think I need what the premium service has to offer just yet.

It just seems too fribilous. You pay money to talk more, had remove ads. The ads helped me with my propaganda homework!

I have nothing against those who are paid members, even if they get automatic vacation and do not lose on time like lesser mortals. It's ok - no need to feel guilty, you gold-platinum-diamond members.

I'm free because i'm a kid from other country, don't have much money. Still planning to become when I'll be a student.

I don't have a paid membership because I don't have a credit card. I don't have a credit card because I personally don't think my income and expenses are high enough to justify having one. And to be frank, I'm rather suspicious of credit cards anyway, what with the hidden fees and other stealthy nuisances the card companies tack on.

Pay by check.

LOL Check.... on what planet, in what Universe. does that still happen.

Avatar of Conflagration_Planet

All you have to do is give them your check number, and other info, then void the actual check. I did that not too long ago, though not on this site.

Chess.com does not give the option to pay by check on it's payment page. Most websites don't because of the risk of bogus and bounced checks. I'm amazed you were able to find a site that takes checks.

I believe one has to get to 7420 points for that.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. FOR WHAT????? FOR POSTING TRASH??? YOU WANT MONEY FOR THAT??? FOR TOPICS LIKE ''WHAT IS BETTER a4 or h4?'' etc... DONT BE INSOLENT.IF SOMEBODY SHOULD BE PAID HERE THATS: BATGIRL,IM pfren and few others...I forgot names.

LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE HERE TO BREAK RECORD IN POINTS.LOL

While you laugh so much, you seem to be oblivious to sarcasm.

Avatar of ivandh

... that wasn't particularly relevant or nice. It was helpful in getting me one point closer to 7420 though.

By the way, some people have more than 100,000 points, so don't go all "redistribute the points" on me.

Ivandh makes a pretty premium blend of noise.  Sure, it's not champagne, but it's a pretty good whiskey at least.
