I have previously had premium membership but it has ran out. so I was thinking that maybe there can be some other options to premium membership like make it cheaper if you dont want speed games but I dont know i just think 25 dollars is a lot to spend for premium. So maybe $15.00 for premium (unlimited games) and then 5 dollars extra for speed games and 5 dollars extra for pass worded games? i dont know it was just and idea and maybe it will bring in more money for this loved site.

I would just sit tight.....once Obama takes office, he'll probably provide some federal funds to supplement the outrageously expensive $25 (two whole dollars a month!) that it costs to be a premium member of CC....

I'm all for spreading the wealth and subsidizing the cost of CC

Unless I'm missing something on the math ... it is costing less than a cent a game for you to be premium. I realize it is $25 but tough to find a better value for your money. Just think how much money you'd be blowing with the time you spent playing thousands of CC games

dude... we all know that trickle down economics just needed like 24 more years to start really working.

soon, the rich white folk who you've never even imagined living in the USA will be giving you their dollars, maybe even 25 because they just have so damn much they don't want it anymore

ummm, just so you know in case you don't whitestazn88,

I just happen to be a working class female who happened to raise 2 sons alone of hispanic origins. :|
i have worked my whole life and, i still have 10 more years of working before i can retire. the trickle down theory is something i too may be lucky enough to take advantage of but, as i am not a freeloader and work hard for my money, I don't care for a free ride.

it is def. bad enough that my taxes assist people that choose not to work and sit at home and watch TV all day. to me what the government needs to do is start assessing these people and get them trained and out and working.

i think that is what will save this country to put people into the workforce, help businesses so that US companies don't go to other countries and keep the money here. And, get rid of NAFTA. also stop buying defective goods from places like China that are poorly made and, lead painted products that harm children.

There was a time when toys were made to last and were great. furniture lasted almost forever cars were built with pride right here in the USA.

The telephone, television, radio, record players and, many more things that were invented here in the USA.

The gift is just that. the purpose is to show people that a good deed done to a stranger is always good and hopefully a lesson is learned.
The lesson is that you don't need to know someone to be kind. it's not even about money. it's about doing something nice for someone else.
the lesson is that along the road of life a person can meet someone in need and even if it is taking part of your sandwich and giving it to a stranger, helping a senior citizen with their bags of groceries, having a neighbor that is ill and choosing to mow their lawn for nothing more than the good feeling you get when you do something nice. shoveling snow out of someones driveway who is unable to do it. soooo many things.
i have a neighbor in my apartment building she is having trouble going up & down the stairs. every day i bring up her mail or her grocery bags from her car. it doesn't take alot of time and she is greatful. there is another elderly woman who has no car. we take her to go buy groceries, department store shopping, dr. appointments and the neighborhood library. do i really need to do it? no but, i do cause they need help.

Some of us live paycheck to paycheck (even with responsible finances, no debt, etc) and honestly cannot afford to pay for a full premium membership. Anyways, any economist can tell you that by dividing the different services up and charging different fees for each, you are engaging in the economic concept of price discrimination, which actually makes more money for the site, and is a good thing. It's akin to Walmart charging one admission price for all-you-can-carry, versus charging for each individual item that you take. As you can see Walmart stands to make a lot more by doing the latter.

I support this idea.

thanks for the insight, but i avoid using those as much as possible. but i do agree that they would really facilitate the understanding of sarcasm presented on internet forums, as it is difficult to pick up on the nuances of the english language without having the non-verbal cues of intonation and body language etc. to help out

I agree, let's make a law forcing people to use emoticons when they are joking! Deregulation of joke/emoticon usage has gone on too long and it's really starting to f*ck up internet forums everywhere

...or maybe we should just leave people alone and let them make their own choices! (stockholders and CEOs too!)

Roger Dodger, what will your partner say? It seems like you've bought everyone free premium.... (Well it was free for them), you might want to cut back, dare I say this you may be getting addicted to donating (Hides in corner before RD goes mad)
