[QUOTE="Anthony Ng, post: 399205, member: 383"] I too underestimated the sign up rate of Platinum membership at that time (March 2003). But unlike some who left DNForum and never come back for disagreeing with a paid forum per se, I was more in doubt of the timing (maturity). I looked awkward being the only person who actually defended that paid forums did work but dissented on going that route right away, I didn't expect anything close to 100 Platinum sign-up's. There WERE indeed close to 100 Platinum sign-up's before Adam (DotComGod) acquired this place in April 2002, but that was still not good enough to justify switching to a subscription-based membership; the real momentum came after that when the new management took over. On a personal note, I ALMOST left DNForum for good TWICE: first, back in September 2002 when I joined the other place on the 3rd day of their "grand opening", thinking that DNForum would fall without Dan's original mods (we all know that was wrong by now); then again in March 2003 when some blockheads started persecuting political dissidents. I am really happy when that narrow-minded "weekend backyard barbeque" mentality was finally shoved away and replaced by a professional, business-oriented forum culture. [/QUOTE]
