It seems that many previous paying members are no longer paying. I-Hub should have left the limited post counts (or just raised it a little not unlimited) and no PMs for non paying members in my opinion. Now some of the freeloaders are everywhere posting a lot of garbage a lot and many do not post responsibly Sometimes I get dragged into the mud with them. I have paid since 2004. I say flood them with more ads. The one feature I like and worth paying for me is that free members can't post on premium boards. So many whackos out there. I own many OTCs and no way I post on that many different boards and it usually turns to crap anyway. I post and get most of my stock info from two premium boards. Very clean boards and bullshi* is not tolerated. If I-Hub took that feature away it would not be worth paying.
