I found it quite comical, actually. And I dont believe they are shelling out thousands of anything monthly to keep their site up. If they are, its just time to move to another server.
I got enough of a kick out of it yesterday to announce that my site, www.furballmag.com was going to go "Pay Per View".
Its incredibly absurd to charge for something offered freely on multitudes of other sites, and my guess is that they will realize this soon enough. They might even return the $15.80 in revenue they generated from their folly.
who knows
