To most other none subs here.
You know....I was trying to educate you on the finer points of business. I tried to get across the nuances of consumer to product...and what I see from 90% of the none subs here. Very few of yous actually CARE. You dont care about GB you just care about yourselves. So fuck the lot of yous. There is a little button for gifting prem memberships. I would love to do it. However I dont have the money. However out of this lot there is few non prem's that actually deserve. Id say this as a subbie or no. Bunch of yous just dont get it. Do you.
You cant just coast on these naive and even selfish views. Jeff and the gang would LOVE to have the site entirely free. To be honest that IS their goal. However it is simply not possible right now. So its either subb and support. Or dont sub and risk losing GB. CBS money dosnt change a thing if anything puts it in the same amount of jeopardy as a small business.
Show you CARE and at-least support in heart otherwise your only showing you are not worth a premium subscription even if it was bought and paid for.

correct me if im wrong, but wasn't the whole point of memberships to fund them since they were a small business, but now that they got bought by CBS shouldnt they be perfectly fine without subscriptions? so couldnt they get away with not having them at all?
ah well whatever, overly defensive community ahoy!
Business is not as simple. They may be sitting on the CBS bus...however that bus still needs fuel. If everyone on the bus dosnt chip in they are off. Adverts are a complicated thing not very simple, its not 1 to 1 ratio. While Subscriptions are simple it is a 1 to 1 ratio and supports GB directly.
Money talks louder than words to companies. Right now with our support we are right on CBS shoulder and screaming in their ears going "WE LIKE GB! GOT IT! DON'T FUCK WITH IT! AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!"
If there wasnt such a strong support. The numbers that says x amount of page views, for each pair of eyeballs staring at Adverts. Could very well be skewered. We have thousands of people subscribed. Thats a good amount of cash that justifies what GB does and allows CBS to not just let them do stuff. But support them.
You can have millions of people viewing a page a day. That dosnt turn into money directly. Advertisers have to WANT to advertise, and alot of the time they would not be happy with the operation GB runs. Look EXACTLY at 2007 with Jeff, He was fired for sticking to his guns and reviewing Kane and Lynch as a bad game. Our subscription prevents that from happening.
