i joined unifaction on uni4. the way i always saw it though.... was that the forum itself was free, and i was free to enjoy and join in on the forum atmosphere.

to be completely honest, i really don't have any real-life money (you should see our credit card debts) so if i bought anything that was a donation item, it was with the site's currency. i was active enough that i always had a crap-ton of auro. in fact, with Brint (that's his actual name as well as his Uni6 handle) taking the site down like that - i lost at the very least 500,000 auro i had in CDs.

but, the sites were free to sign up for and use. i supposed Acid/Tarsupin/Brint could run the sites as he wished, and if i didn't like it, i would always leave. as it was, i liked it enough to stay. any of my drama that got stirred up was my own fault, and the most dramatic it got was me posting a picture on my wall only a few months ago from UK's Being Human from season 3, which aired in 2011, and then having a little discussion on spoilers (i said it wasn't, someone said it was. i think we agreed to disagree.)
