[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 657607, member: 13342"]I decided to try it out for a month just to see what all the rave is about. It is a neat site, and I will definitely be using it for a while; but I don't think it's worth a yearly subscription. The "survival estimates" are quite interesting, and obviously needed a lot of research to put together.
