Then the powers that be decided that I had to pay $35 per year just to be allowed contribute to their forum. For me that was the straw that broke the camels back.
Being in the UK, the ONLY part of the COG membership that was of interest to me was the forum, and I am not paying to read ****hole-troll posts and outright insults.
So, I left and to be honest I don't miss it at all.
All I was ever interested in was the forum stuff. I offered to kick in $10 to keep just forum access, and you would've thought I had asked them to pay me.
All this talk, I ordered a new sock to swap mine out one of these weekends.
