I must admit that in the old days of Sims 1, I subscribed for one month to both TSR and 8th deadly sim. Mostly because they had a bunch of something that I thought would be cool to have in game. But it really wasn't worth paying for the whole month when I found out that the donation stuff wasn't updated very often. Needless to say, I've never subscribed to another pay site again.
I pay enough to buy the damn game and expansion and stuff packs. I'm not paying for something that a player makes.
*hoists the flag* Arr, mateys!
