For whatever reason this is common in adult, don't see anything like this in any mainstream boards I use. When I bill a mainstream client $100 for services rendered or products delivered - or even $40 - I expect them to pay. Not because it's the difference between paying my groceries or mortgage, but because that's how the fucking world works. For whatever reason there's a segment of people in our industry feel the need to remind everyone how well they're doing - dunno if adult by nature attracts douchebags like that, or if it's learned because that's the scene (moreso in the past).

But yeah, as I said to the original OP - it shouldn't be necessary to do nonsense like sign up yourself to hit the minimum, just request they close you account and cut your check for the balance....
