JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I pay for this server. I pay for this bandwidth. I am tired of having to fork over half my paycheck from my full-time job just so people can use my forums and read my site for free. This is not an intelligent business equation for me. I have no problem giving people free services as long as I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LUXURY OF PROVIDING SOMETHING TO YOU FOR FREE. You may not understand this idea. You may be outraged at me trying to keep from going broke by running a free site. I don't care what people like you think since you apparently live in some imaginary world where fairies and elves dance under licorice trees and the family dog that you have sex with every day is actually a beautiful princess who doesn't try to chew off your penis. Good for you, drop me an email when you have a real job and run a website that serves over 110 gigs of traffic a day and over 720,000 pages daily. Until then, go back to playing games all day, gossiping on IRC, and continuing to fester delusions regarding how the real world operates.

These forums are not sponsored by the government; I have to pay for the bandwidth out of my own pocket. If you're some retarded 14-year old who still lives with his parents and spends all day using their Internet connection to post to Unreal Tournament forums and talk about how when you get older you're going to join the SWAT Team and shoot terrorists, you probably won't understand this concept and probably have significant difficulties with basic reading comprehension.

Now I'm sure some of you more mentally challenged individuals out there may be whining, "But Rich 'Lowtax' Kyanka, you're a stupid moron fag! Why should I have to pay to post on your forums? I can post on other forums for free!" You don't have to post here. Nobody is forcing you. If you don't want an account, don't pay me. However, SA is serving over 110 gigs a day. 110 gigs. With a "g." These forums are not sponsored by the government; I have to pay for the bandwidth out of my own pocket. If you're some retarded 14-year old who still lives with his parents and spends all day using their Internet connection to post to Unreal Tournament forums and talk about how when you get older you're going to join the SWAT Team and shoot terrorists, you probably won't understand this concept and probably have significant difficulties with basic reading comprehension.

In conclusion, users may now purchase a SA forum account for $9.95.
