Well I've used FOD with the 3D Billiards download of the game for about 2 years now. I've always subscribed as it's so cheap, not even worth complaining about really, but they WON'T be getting any more of my money.
The reasons are:
1) The games have gone totally downhill. All the decent players and good company have quit, and been replaced by what seems to be 10 year olds.
2) Moderators. The way this site is ran is abismal, in all my years of using the internet I've never came across a site quite so poorly ran. They have the power to remove anybody from the site, which is fair enough, but not when applied to subscribers. They don't like to admit it I imagine, but lots of the mods on FOD are corrupt and we ALL know it. I'd be very surprised if this post is even allowed, as freedom of speach seems to be none existent here if any of the mods disagree with your opinions!
3) 8 ball rules. They are the American rules, with silly "free ball" rule and "No rail" etc. Crazy. Surely these rules were made up by two 8 year old kids, making it up as they went along.
4) Well, I'll stop now. I could probably go on for hours.
The servers ARE bad these days. Over the last few months infact, I've seen it get steadily worse, more frequent DC's, and whenever I mention it to anybody, they tell me they're experiencing the same problem, so it's fact not fiction. At least for some of us.
I seriously doubt the mods allow this post to be admitted to the thread, as they probably won't let me express my views, but I am not paying another Subscription fee anyway, and neither are 90% of the people I talk to on FOD or those who have already quit over the last year.
The site is killing itself slowly, with its poor management and even poorer show of respect for its long time users/members. Enough said.
