Well, no sh*t.
I mean, premium gives you extras you can't get with normal xanga.
...why shouldnt you pay for extras?

i think you're completely wrong. they can't run off ads alone...think about their server costs for a sec.

xanga doesn't run off many ads. createblog has google ads... xanga has like... 5 ads that rotate in thier banner.

premium is the way to support xanga.

it's not unfair, it's life.

Ad's also help pay for xanga. But if you want no ads, you have to pay for premium. Either way they get their money. That's why they don't like "ad removers". Premium also provides extra things regular doesn't. Think of it as paying more for premium gas or paying 50 cents more for extra cheese. Yay for xanga! Boo for cheap people who want extra things for free. _smile.gif

Xanga has a few ads that people don't usually click on, that often advertise help topics FOR OUR GOOD, and aren't those big flashy retarded ones.
[begin sarcasm]
Okay, let's just get 99 rotating profile pics, no ad banner, and an extra module JUST FOR FREE because, I mean, xanga isn't worth it, right? [end sarcasm]

when you want something extra, of course you have to pay for it. And for the banners at the top, it isn't that bad as long as it isn't those annoying pop-ups then it's fine.

Also if xanga premium was free, then xanga would probably close... can you imagine the number of people who go to Xanga every day?

i think its fair to have to pay for premium. they give us the standard xanga for free, im thankful for that. regular xanga allows alot, and gives us alot of the same similar options in premium. they gotta make money somehow.

Well come on...it costs a lot of money to run as grand a website as Xanga...

And 100 dollars isn't that tough to come by.

I threw a Ben Franklin to the Xanga folks, and now I have premium for life...

WOW! I should have done the life time thing, too, but I didn't realize how attached I would be to xanga until this past year.

just uninspiredfae after xangadotcom happy.gif I don't know how to "skin" and all that jazz very well, so that's the main reason why I bought premium; I could just build a normal website....

I don't even have premium, but I think it's all good because you can still create a good site even without. The only "extras" I know is that you can put entries protected and add more than 10 people. Plus, getting the ad removed, but I don't care much about that..so yeaps

Does anyone really have premium?

I think it's fair.
*shrugs*
At least we get xanga at all.. even if it's the free version, it's better than no version..

Premium is not unfair. i think it's very cool

but, what if the person wants to have a another xanga and the premuim is still charged on the other xanga?

jsut a thought...

Premium is deinfetley the way to go if you have that kind of money..((which i dont cry.gif ))

and if it werent for premium, we wouldnt be here on CB!

YAE FOR PREMIUM!

This is what I think. Xanga should upgrade their "Basic" service to "Premium" status but still be free. And the "Premium" status would contain 3 extra modules and more features.
