Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

@yournobody:

I appreciate your honest opinion. Just let me say that we have no intentions of turning CH into an all pay site. 99% of the content on our website is still free or will become free after the waiting period is over. It is true that some trainers, like this one, will remain as UNL ONLY but that's simply because we have people like Kelsat that rip our trainers and/or other people that try and crack them and spread them. This causes us to lose the necessary money it takes to have our programmers code 40-50 trainers and updates every month. We have to make up those losses somehow or simply stop making trainers. I don't think that people realize it costs us approximately $500 in programming fees to complete EACH trainer. I think that the $24.95 per YEAR fee that we ask is very fair, considering that we put out about 500 trainers each year. We try our very best to leverage our free and UNL content as best we can and we certainly try to make things available to free members whenever possible.

As someone else stated, we offer a FREE LIFETIME membership to people that simply contribute to the site in the way of a FAQ or guide. Does IGN or other such sites offer such a thing? Again, that's us trying to look out for those people that simply can't afford or have no means to pay for a membership.
