I had an unexpected rate increase about a year and a half ago. I told them that I didn't mind the increase. I was paying $5.99 monthly since inception of Rivals. They bumped me to $9.99. What I did mind was not being notified in advance. I think the problem was when I first registered I used an AOL email address. I got rid of AOL 15 years ago, so if they tried to notify me, it was not received. I ended up canceling my premium subscription.This was about a year ago. I thought I would get wooed back, but, honestly, I don't think anyone noticed. So much for my 20,000+ posts, am I right?
I see now there is new "management." Ennis is a contributor, as is another guy. I wouldn't mind seeing a sample of their work before re-signing up. Throw us free folk a bone. I'm particularly interested in what Ennis adds, given that he has a radio show and an active Twitter account, where he already divulges a lot of info and opinions.
