I tried to enjoy that forum for a time, but it never sat right with me that they were not allowing people basic things on the forum like avatars in an attempt to get people to pay for them. Avatars, or whatever it was - I don't even remember specifically at this point.

I mean... I get it. They tried to bring in revenue, I get it. But... clearly that's not how you do it. You don't withhold features for revenue - you add value somehow instead. Not a wise business move the way it was done there.
