GSP play Free?

Just thought folks here might be interested in watching the debate being raged here

Interesting, but... (I also posted this in the AO forums thread linked above):

As for me personally - and this is my opinion alone, I'm not attempting to speak for all of GSP - I do this because it's fun as hell.
That's all the reason or incentive I need.
I volunteer my time and effort to dj because it's a freakin riot, and I truly love doing it. While free stuff is good hehe, I don't really care much if FC or even Santa Clause himself pay for my account. It's worth the $15 for me to be able to do this. Another thing to think about : my AO account is used for things other than just GSP. Just like every other DJ, I have plenty of alts that have nothing whatsoever to do with Gridstream

Once again, I don't speak for the other DJ's, and what I've said here is not in any way GSP's official opinion on the matter. It's just my 2 cents....

Well it is truely the GSP DJs and thier Music that makes the game so much more of and enjoyment for me..... Tho I may not like all that is played its ours it belongs to the people of AO and GSP is the voice of AO IN MY Opinion it isthe greatest addition to any game and to have dedicated people willing to give up thier game time of leveling and acheiveing to do this for us is comendable and i certainly thank them from the bottom of my heart.... The one thing we as suporters can do is suport them not only by attending thier shows but also tipping them for playing our request... you dont have to be rich or have millions to tip a DJ tip wht you can even a 1000 credits adds up if enough ppl tip and the DJs only give back wht is donated to the listeners in contest so....... think about a tip to insure the bank stays full and the contest are always available...... Huggles go out from me to all of GSP.... thank you all

Thanks Jugsy.

I also put a reply into the thread, but I'm not going to scrounge it up again, you can read it there.

I will sum-up, however. We do not have free accounts, nor do we have any intentions of petitioning for free accounts. We are players, not ARK, and we do what we do for the enjoyment of those who care to listen.

And, of course, those who don't mind occasionally having their face ripped clean off. Myself, I'll be live tomorrow (friday) night for some of that.

I agree with all... I mainly like GSP for its music... its always a treat.
THe music on GSP is like listening to great underground and great pop, not the pop that public DJs play over and over and think are good.

I hope I didn't throw any logs on a fire you folks wanted to die. I can sort of understand why some fo your supporters might get the idea that FC might owe something of that nature to you, but it's not really a viable option when you consider it realistically.

And I'm not trying to say you or Metalynx couldn't keep a secret if you really wanted Tarryk, just that I doubt you'd agree to free accounts from FC and not be open and honest about it.

I'm quite sure you're correct, had 'lynx and I free accounts, we probably wouldn't make direct mention of it. But I'm a little more subtle than the following statement when it comes to such matters:

Metalynx and I do not have free accounts.
