how can i prevent people from subscribing with out taking out the left side and top models?

You don't want anyone to subscribe to you? Why? Well, to do that you have to block them.

there is no way you can stop people from subscribing to you. you can take off the links on the top and all the left side modules but people can still put the link and your username to subscribe. they would just put this link...
