Can I just say that I look forward to this site's April Fool's almost as much as Guild Wars. Last year with the avatars was fantastic. I remember hearing about the year everyone showed up as banned on the site and the initial outrage and lulz that happened. Changing the forum names to what they actually represented such as Riverside Inn to QQ Inn. Pretty sure I forgot some.
Good job on this one as well. Had me going for just a split moment as I started reading. Nice parody on all the microtransactions that are happening with games out there. Bravo.
Well Done Guru

Completely agreed. Hope my next three free posts will be worth it.

This is bad, the new 'Get Out of Ban' gold cards at their current pricing of $19.99 undercut my business of selling un-bans at $39.99...
You do realize this is serious right?

actually it was totally believable to me. i've been a member of sites which went from free to pay structures no more silly than that one. past tense used intentionally. and i love a joke as well as or better than the next guy. that leaves me with 4 posts for flame wars.

3/10 for believability, but 10/10 for clever use of tradition to make social commentary
This one is still a win.

Very funny, but no parody of the blatant abuse of exchange rates for ripping-off non-american customers?

GURU, try harder next time 
Idea was good, but you have went over the board with prices and post limits.
Life-time membership of 29,95 and 0.05 per cost with 25 post limit a day would be much more believable, and there are other examples to that.
I guess you didn't want to moderate the forums too much and hand out bans to people didn't didn't get the joke, but I admit - it was actually shocking, the first time I started reading it. It reminded me how I felt when Anet introduced the gay microtransactions on wider scale. Somehow unlock packs didn't bother me at all.

I would have liked it better if it had a second screen before you were able to post where you were brought to a "Checkout" type of screen with the price of your "Purchase" =p
