Thank you for the participation, that is another way to support the website. :up:I support TOL because I have been able to refine my thinking and even change some of my views. Many people here saw me, in some sense, through a very tough time of my life. I wish I could do more to support this place, but my family's financial situation has been tenuous at best for the past few years.
I'm just glad I was able to subscribe this past year.
You are a TOL legend!

It wouldn't be TOL without getting to pick on kmoney.
:mock: kmoney
Our annual TOL-a-THON starts next week, if you are able to help out that would be fantastic! (see the home page for details).
Wow! Thank you so much!I love TOL. It's a great site, well run, with fascinating people. I think that the great variety of people and the quality of discussion is all thanks to the great environment that Knight provides - it runs so smoothly, it's easy to use, and it's purdy too
Sooooo... I support TOL because Knight does such a great job making it a place where the sort of people I like like to visit regularly. I also love the topic of the day
And TOL is a better place with you around! :up:

A bit like asking if you'd go to someone else's house for a party every [week, day, etc.] and not bring a gift because they're [your choice of political affiliations here]. Either you do or you don't derive benefit from TOL. If you don't then you probably aren't here.
If you do then the question is can you or can't you afford to bring a gift to that house you've been invited to visit for entertainment, or fellowship, or stimulation, or any combination thereof.

Now some people can't. If that's the case, you contribute by trying to make the place more interesting, stimulating, entertaining, or beneficial in any way that you can. If you can do something you should...even if it's only the less selfless contribution of a subscription.
That's my two cents anyway...which is about what I have in my pocket these days, but I intend on resubscribing at some level and for many of the reasons set out above.

Of course!
You may not realize this but it costs about $4,000 per year to keep TOL operating, and those are just the cold hard cash costs. TOL is too big and busy to be on a cheap shared server, we need our own dedicated server. Dedicated servers are expensive.
