I have always sided with non-paying members when some premium members just use the logic "you don't pay, you don't have a say", just because they don't pay doesn't make their opinion any less valuable, but at the same time if someone is on this site longer then a few months and gets a feel for it, the only real reason why they don't pay is because their cheap.
I would never say someone who can't afford something for 30$ is cheap, because I don't know everyones financial situation, but I can reasonably assume that if you have the cash to get into this hobby (which is why your on these boards) then you have an extra 3.00$. This hobby costs easily 300$ to get into, and thats some bottom of the line setup, a setup, which at that price you probably bought on here, so if someone can afford that, then they should be able afford 3.00$ a month
non the less, whether they pay or not, doesn't make their opinions any less valid and should carry the same weights as everyone elses
