I can't say for other sites, but this does not currently affect Outpost Network sites.

See the last item: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/tf2outpost/discussions/0/558747922562007365/

OK, enough. If the topic is being used to do personal attacks then its time to be closed.

Some comments on premium and its pricing were made on the latest AMA: http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/23i8jj/we_are_tf2_and_outpost_people_sneeza_helenangel/

We do have many people paying for premium, and the overall active users count has only slightly decreased since the premium announcement - pretty much due to the decline in TF2 trading itself. It's clear to us people didn't leave the site, even though a lot of people said they (or everyone) would.

Well it has been a long time and I have not been recommending TF2Outpost for a long time, to anyone. Decided to check it out and see if things have been improved...

Nope. I see complaints about the ads just as before and I can understand why.

I am not saying it is wrong, nor that it must be fixed... but I am saying that I am highly disappointed with TF2Outpost.

It's impossible to avoid them completely. Ignore all friend requests and ask people to send you trade offers or post on your trades/profile beforehand.

Another reason I haven't bought premium is because the pretty shitty security, Outpost doesn't even use https... You also enter the credit card details and all your personal information directly on the site (unless you use paypal), that doesn't feel very professional or secure, if there were more payment methods maybe i would consider premium but not for now.

That's a flat out lie. Don't post if you don't know what you are talking about.

The premium page itself is loaded entirely through HTTPS.

There's nothing we can do to prevent this. Only Steam can do something - they did and changed their minds.

There is not scam. We nave said it was permanent, people say this because there was no explicit expiration date. No expiration date != permanent. Read the link posted a couple posts above yours.

This was discussed many many many times already. It's been 6 months, and this is how the site works now.

No rants here. It's been 6 months already, plenty of discussions already took place.
