Did they walk back 40 bucks? If you're talking about internet stuff, you can get way more for your money in other places. Like someone said, 40 bucks per year to read posts by randos seems steep.
Also, it's not like the best posters from GAF are active. Those left GAF ages ago and haven't turned up on Reset.
PoliGAF (or the RE version) is just the same dudes agreeing all day. What's the fun in that?
