i think the mods do a great job of getting rid of the "goofballs" and there posts but as for charging a membership for this site come on Blu-ray isn't a money grubbing Moderated for language thats something Microsoft would do

I think we have already stated somewhere that we will not charge for a membership.

Here's what you can do to support the site and Blu-ray:
1. Buy Blu-ray products.
2. Buy Warner titles.
3. Buy Blu-ray products (or any products) on Amazon.com by using our links.
4. Join our folding@home team to help research with curing diseases and to raise awareness about the site, Blu-ray and the PS3.

With the money we make we improve the site by:
1. Adding and improving features and sections.
2. Adding more content.
3. Covering/reporting from various BD related events.
4. Adding new server hardware.
5. Adding new server bandwidth.
6. etc.

ya. except the goofball part. I keep alluding their hammer

. i'm what businesses reffer to as NVA no value added. except when someone PMs me for help.

but this site is pretty well run. members self moderate and the mods step in when needed. now if they has a benefit such as special deals or promo codes to amazon for being a paying member i'd be down.

Like Iceman said, if you want to help the site, one of the best things you can do to contribute to the site financially, in a roundabout way, is to purchase your discs through the Amazon links on our movie and review pages. Our reviewers work very hard to bring you new and catalogue reviews as soon and as often as possible. Supporting Blu in general, contributing to the site in a positive manner, and being a good ambassador for the Blu-ray format in general are also excellent ways to to support the cause.
