For clarity's sake - does the main forum include the Goal Club?

It says that subscribers can "edit their own profile info" - does mean that us non-subbing plebs lose our avatars and things?

No, but you won't be able to change them any more.

So...a lot of people got in a huff over this?

Seeing as I've created about...5 or so topics in two years, I think I might be able to stick around, as long as someone starts a Doctor Who thread each year...

No, this is the immense climbdown after people got upset.

Or perhaps it was instead that someone in the star members forum suggested this slight change of plan which Stu hadn't thought of so he decided to implement this one instead.

I agree with Nirejhenge. Stuart always said he was open to suggestions, just not necessarily that he would agree with them. And this one, he did. Hurrah!

So, someone said original idea of forum subscription was flawed, offered constructive criticism to make it better, and suggestion was implemented. It's almost like there's a moral to this, or something.

And this way, of course, the spambots will still be gone and I, the self-confessed freeloader, can still spout drivel like this. Hurrah!

Yeah. Learn all the details of an incident before making sarky comments.

Then stop talking shit. I see absolutely no prospect of this bringing back the people who went to WoCUS, and don't want it to. It's simply a practical response to a sensible suggestion about a new situation. What you possibly hope to achieve by wrongly labelling it a "immense climbdown" utterly escapes me. Do please explain the positive outcome you anticipate resulting from that comment.

I thought this was an April Fools joke, paying to access parts of a forums, but evidently it is not. :o

I just hope the subscribers are regular thread creaters or it will be quieter than Stamford Bridge around here.

I am now a sub, and I create threads in my sleep...

Hurray! I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I'll now be continuing to post about once every month, in a fairly innocuous and underwhelming fashion as usual. I'm happy this has been resolved, and hope things can carry on pretty much as they were, once everyone's tempers have subsided. I'd have missed checking in on all you lot if things had all gone properly tits up. I hope you've not all pissed off to the Super Members folder or that other forum.
