Why Talkbass.com is the only social network/community in the world where we got to pay regularly if we want to upload a profile's image/avatar? |

The avatar and bigger inbox are perks, nothing else.

We get to see how awesome you are and you don't have to pay.
Everyone wins. |

Upload an avatar quick! Get your full value!
Might as well sell something in the classifieds as well.

Everyone wins. | i donīt want to "cheat" on nobody. If that works for you, fine...
Youīre super clever..
Just wondering why i got to use an International Credit Card via Internet (im a foreigner like many others) and pay regularly just for uploading a profile picture. Donīt know of any other community or social network with that requirement. |

You just cant have an avatar without forking over some $$$.
I pay exclusively for the right to bear an image along with my handle.

However, this is the first time in which Ive ever taken notice of him. (and he didnt even need an avatar to do so)
