That’s a good question @warzan.
I guess you can look at it in two different ways:
Firstly, Beast of Wars as a community. If you don’t search for the relevant content or add content of your own… Well… Then you won’t be getting much use of this site.
Secondly, Beast of Wars as a commodity. Since you pay for a Backstage Pass, then you can also expect to be entertained. To get your money’s worth, so to speak.
I guess it boils down to just what you expect to get for your money. I mean… It’s not like it’s a big expense. A pint of beer or thereabouts… Easily affordable. But it does take us back to the question of just what we’re getting for that pint. Is it just a good feeling in our tummy, ’cause we’ve helped support a good website? Or is it some speciel super-secret content that no-one else has acces to? And that, of course, also raises the question of what non-members get. Give them too little, and they’ll drift away, leaving the site dead. Give them too much, and the members will start wondering what they’re paying for.
In all honesty, I don’t have a good answer to any of those questions.
