Another web site starts charging for services. Just when it was looking good, too. This is
going to be the way with nearly all the bigger sites in the near future.

I see "Tiscali" have a slice of the action  :-(
Any other sim related sites that are charging ?

What bits are they charging for? I'm guessing it's the Tiscali hosted
high bandgirth stuff.

I registered a login there, and it was free.

They are charging for downloading images any bigger than 800x600, for f***s sake ! Also,
all the vids and other cool stuff  now costs you.

Curious, I just went there and DLed a 2160*1440 pic.  I don't pay.  I
think you just need to register a login, which doesn't cost.

Unless you're looking somewhere other than the 'multimedia' section.

I'm looking in the "Exclusive B-Zone", where all the tasty stuff is.. The multimedia
section is crap.
