As John D. Rockefeller once said, "The price of a thing is whatever it will fetch."
If no one wants to pay for Facebook, it isn't because the people are "cheap" - it's because the value of Facebook itself is cheap.

Nope - not on my watch.

Re: are we a cheap society?
facebook claims more than 400 million active users. It's not like they aren't currently making money either. So, lets say they charge 10 dollars a year... thats a whopping 4 billion dollars extra in revenue. Your trying to talk about people being cheap, it sounds to me like it should more rightly be called corporate greed!

Re: are we a cheap society?
I wouldn't pay to stay. If that makes me cheap, then so be it. 
Half the forum would just move to an island and start a new forum.
