Maybe you should learn to read. His last sentence said "I pay for the damn site and feel the same but sucks coming here just to scroll through whining."
He obviously subscribes to both. And as far as ID requests... they aren't prohibited in this thread... you're thinking of the PH chicks found elsewhere thread.
I prefer relevant whining and non-redundant ID requests (like look back a couple pages and use the search first please). I'd probably resub to Tainster as well if they would start their own forum and actually participate and give a shit about their users, CzechVR has an awesome members forum and they actually listen to the people that pay them, which is a big reason why I pay them vs. jolly roger their shit.
