That's not very fair. As NT pointed out there are a lot of international members who cannot purchase subscriptions due to government red tape and there are some members of the site who, for whatever reason cannot afford a subscription. Since we're in the middle of a subscription drive for the very site you moderate, I thought the idea would be a grand one and certainly not one meriting ridicule, if that's what this is. Sorry, I'm in a horrible mood these days and very sensitive to any sarcasm so if this was not a sattirical post I apologize in advance for how I interpreted it. Nobody's trying to "buy friends." The idea is, buy a subscription for someone who already IS a friend or... better yet, buy one for a complete stranger and expect no accolades. You want more subscribers, right? Well this kind of post certainly puts a damper on anything altruistic that people might have had planned.

Is there a way to anonymously purchase someone a subscription?

Angelic Destiny. He is not trying to offend.

Theory is looking at things from different perspectives in order to achieve a collective result. Summin like that anyways.

Obviously humour is lost on some.

Anyone who thought this was anything OTHER than light-hearted banter really needs to step back and smell the roses. particularly someone who [should] know what life/reality is all about....in the world of skinning and Wincustomize community moderation.

This was ALL about emphasis....'buy a friend a subscription' vs 'buy a friend WITH a subscription'.

The word is 'semantics'.....

Sometimes newer people don't know when Jafo is being humorous. Us older people can tell. So sometimes its best to sit back and observe instead of jumping to a conclusion.

Thought that would've been a dead giveaway as to the intended lighthearted humor of the post.

It's annoying how WC is begging for Money.

I've been a member since December 11th of last year so I think that qualifies me as a quasi-old person at least. But anywho, just as some new people don't know the ins and outs of a particular person's quirks, not everybody on the planet is going to know who DeBono is, just like not everyone will know who Algernon Blackwood is.

I'm still in glass-heart mode so I'm outtie for a few days.
