I just got this forwarded to me in Pogo. There seems to be a petition going round. Below is the body of that message. Does any one have knowledge of this possibility? ?.? :o0 :ooo :o >>:D
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Higher Ups and Pogo.com and EA Sports are considering charging an hourly fee added to the normal flat membership fee we pay for playing games on Pogo.
The numbers they are currently kicking around for this fee range from between four cents, and twenty five cents per hour. This might not sound like much but it will add up fast.
This is still in the planning stage, (their minds are not made up yet) and we need to make our voices heard before a decision is final.
Add your Pogo screen name to this petition and send it out to all of your pogo friends and roomies, and back to the #1 person who sent this. If they know how strongly we are against it, it won't happen.......
WE THE UNDERSIGNED POGO MEMBERS ARE AGAINST ANY HOURLY FEES BEING CHARGED FOR POGO GAME PLAY. IF HOURLY FEES ARE IMPLEMENTED, POGO.COM AND EA SPORTS WILL LOSE OUR BUSINESS!
Sounds like a load of crap if you ask me. Whenever they want more money they just up the yearly subscription price. An hourly charge in addition to the subscription price would drive people away by the thousands. If i were you I would report the message as spam.
i agree with HOMER. O0
An easy way for them to rake in a ton of money is to make badges available for the 2go games.
Just another spam rumor. If they were to charge hourly, believe me, they'd have members scatter amok.
I would find another site if they did that! :'(( :oo
Me too- but now it will be $39.99 a year--getting pricy!!!

$40? What? Pogo is getting insane! Me with Pogo Admin in hand >>> (O+O)
no thruth @ all
Listen ... its really, really simple ...
Every week some goof-ball begins a rumor that was started by someone, who heard from someone, who said they talked to the guy who works for Pogo, who heard from his boss who was told by his wife ... Ya-Da Ya-Da Ya-Da.
The truth is, if it comes across in one of those multi-member petition emails ... its totally bogus and you're wasting not just your time ... but our precious posting space by asking if we've heard about it.
From a "Business Model" point of view ... not even EVERQUEST and World Of Warcraft charge by the hour. Why in the name of all that is holy - excluding Bill Gates and possibly the makers of the Razr cell phone - would the actual managers of Pogo even consider charging "hourly" for a service that already charges monthly rates for? Come on ... think it through.
And with that said ... we return you to your normally scheduled postings.
Thank you for clearing that up fitzkarin. O0

Sounds nice... Have UPS deliver, I don't trust FedEx, USPS or that Yellow Van either.
i agree sounds like spam to me <O> <?>
Seems those petitions are always coming around and I report them a spam. I never know the person who sent it!
i use to get them, but i dont no more, when some1 send them to this person and they send them to other people and shows every1 pogo name on sending it all around i never knew the person that send it to me
Every time I get one of those, I report it as spam. Now no one sends me spam anymore
if pogo starts charging a horly fee they would be out of business (O+O)
maybe they will try a going out of business sale :))
