Ihub chased-away paid subs imo. These deadbeats would rather hear gunshots coming from their parent's bedroom than reach into their pockets to pay for membership. I paid for years, until the "any engagement is GOOD engagement" decision. Ihub now enables constant over-the-top personal-attacks. Also MODs are severely restricted in their ability to keep boards clean & readable. I'm sure I'm alone on this, and maybe what ihub has lately become is a money-maker - good for them. I did miss batch-reading & the search-capability, but not enough to resubscribe.
