my thoughts if you dont want to pay then wait until you are a vet or simply dont sell
even ebay has it fees for allowing ya to post your items to sell
ECF simply has to generate some kind of money to stay open its a huge forum and requires tons of upkeep system upgrades and whatnot. gosh most of the users are lost if efc is down for just a few hours, imagine, with out paying members donations the thought of ECF no longer being able to operate online

are ruining what we have here!
Hmm.... time for some Santa's Pole
