This is a big concern. A friend of mine found this. DS may be in for a change in the future!

I asked for verification of the $25 fee. I did this before I re-read the link posted above. A lot more replies have been added to that message since I last read it.

A lot of that runs very high on my BS meter. Somebody claims that they are going to charge $25 to be a CL? HA!

If this happens then I guess that I also will have to say Good Bye to DS. This place has really been good for many of us. But I just cant afford to pay for 25 membership fee. Well I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens.

Having read the comments in the above article, I am certain that the $25 is a hoax. Don't waste your time worrying about it.

I've checked as much as I can I don't see anywhere that there would be a $25.00 charge...Where is this info at?

I would have to leave, too. But my boyfriend knows how much help I get here and would probably pay for it for me.

Isn't this like everything else in life? As soon as something gets popular, and does some folks some good, somebody has to come in and make money off it. Hell, it sounds like church...everything in life apparently has to be a "fee for service".
