I have to pay to send messages. There is no use in anything that is free if I can't communicate with anyone.

It's cheap that you don't tell people they'll have to pay to check inbound email before they actually do it. It's underhanded.

Bro, you just charged me $30 to receive a GD message and you'll automatically charge me ANOTHER $30 in a MONTH. ONE MONTH! Then you ask me for a rating immediately afterward?!? What do you expect?

So far it is okay, though the response time on the chat box is a little slow.
