Then by all means, don't register and stop complaining that it costs money.
In fact, the fact that they charge to register makes the forum better.
How is that Sandamnit? That doesn't make any sense.
1. It keeps out the trollers, idiots, retards, and people that would just register, flame people, and get banned a few minutes later. Why the hell would you pay $10 to get banned a few moments later.
2. It pays for the server costs, thus making the site and forums faster.
3. There are about 300-800 active users at any given time, so it's well worth the $9.95 to register, because there is always something going on.
4. It lowers the amount of server load, since all the unregistered people can't waste bandwidth that people have paid for by registering their accounts.
I have already spent $37 at Something Awful and I must say that it is $37 well spent. I've laughed my ass off plenty of times at that forum and have found that not only has my sense of humor gotten better, but my Photoshop abilities have gotten better. If I had the money to spare, I could, I would willingly donate more to SA, because it's just that kickass of a site.
I'm not saying you should register an account there, but keep in mind that SA serves up about 10gb per day in bandwidth, charging for an account there is pretty much the only way that site stays in business. Were they not to charge for registration, it wouldn't even exist.
