#1 It aint worth it
#2 Its against my religion to pay for a) internet porn or b) bells and whistles on a message board.
I also do not buy gurl scout cookies, or give money to any sorry sack sucker who calls asking for money.
It's not worth it. I was plat for 3 months. Really no difference for me, except one cost 12$ a month. Oh, and I won't pay for message boards. They aren't very expensive to run.
