Well, I've been making a lifestyle change lately anyway and was already in the stages of cutting expenses that are not necessary but was considering renewing here when my time is up but with the new price I won't be. I'm not a "retard, drop out, nay sayer, reject or broke dick" , just somebody who was making changes anyway and the price hike was the decision maker for me with this site. It's a nice site and who knows what I'd do if I was spending money recklessly like I used to do from time to time.
