**** the rules, the 50 post thing is stupid. It is a ponzi scheme to get people to spend $20.
WRONG-O!! A Ponzi scheme defrauds multiple investors because there is no way it could ever pay off the promised return on investment. $20 per year to be a Site Supporter allows one to avoid the 50 quality post rule and gets you a few other bennies. To review: Bernie Madoff: Ponzi scheme. Charles Ponzi: Ponzi scheme. INGO: Not a Ponzi scheme. If you have any questions please provide them in the form of a quality post. That would be a win-win.
