More boobies links.
 
2012-04-30 07:49:51 AM
...or if he's gay, more weeners links.
 
2012-04-30 07:50:24 AM
Because he will never see how much we make fun of him unless this goes green.
 
2012-04-30 07:54:11 AM
He shouldn't. TFD is full of trite conversation and AWs.

The only advantage I enjoy is being able to see the upcoming links for the day before they hit the main page.
 
2012-04-30 07:59:00 AM
The little banner that says Totalfark instantly makes your opinion worth more than standard liters.

If you don't believe me watch this get greened as an advert to get people to give TF a go, and watch the liters call us TFers elitist and arrogant self-righteous pricks who think spending $5 makes them somehow superior... then watch those same people be unable to afford $5 a month... yeah I am superior because I can blow $5 a month. That makes us all awesome and we know it, so don't even pretend you don't know.
 
2012-04-30 07:59:20 AM
TFD is great if you're an insomniac; more articles that may not make the main page.
 
2012-04-30 07:59:49 AM
MOAR.

And here I thought I was the only one.

Ha.

Honestly, it's nice to see links before they get greened and before they hit the main page. You can watch your own links a bit more obsessively and see some interesting articles that just did not hit the main page. Of course, this isn't always a great thing for your own productivity. The other nice thing is knowing that you are helping to support a website you love and get a few side perks for doing it. If you are on Fark all the time, why not shell out a bit of money to keep the website running?

I thought the "meet Drew" at the last Vegas FARK party by invitation only was pretty cool.
 
2012-04-30 08:05:09 AM
Because if you don't have access to TotalFark, you can never get access to Ultraf---+++NO CARRIER+++---
 
2012-04-30 08:05:19 AM
Sorry. Can't tell you. It's a secret.

For your own safety, remain in literland.
 
2012-04-30 08:08:40 AM
Because you are tired of feeling weak, pathetic and inferior. You can be SO. MUCH. MORE.
 
2012-04-30 08:10:21 AM
Green. Here we go.
 
2012-04-30 08:11:21 AM
Green'd?

Well, Subby. You should pay the five bucks a month because it will keep you from touching yourself at night, and that will make your mother happy.
 
2012-04-30 08:11:53 AM
Because you are a little biatch and we need to mock you. Out yourself and I'll sponsor you.
 
2012-04-30 08:12:05 AM
Because Drew's beer don't pay for itself
 
2012-04-30 08:12:51 AM
Vodka Zombie: Green'd?

5 bucks can buy a few bags of Cheetos and a liter of Mountain Dew.
 
2012-04-30 08:16:00 AM
Because it's what Jesus would want you to do.
 
2012-04-30 08:16:09 AM
That's the first part of my prediction that has come true.

I hope they at least checked out the claim that subby has been a liter for the last 10 years.
 
2012-04-30 08:24:48 AM
Because you get a free top hat, monocle, and snifter of brandy.

Also, the threads are much, much easier to follow when there's not a lot/¼/π of people in a discussion.
 
2012-04-30 08:24:52 AM
Well, since all everyone does here is troll anymore, you get to troll earlier in the thread!
 
2012-04-30 08:25:26 AM
I like it becase it says:
Veni, Vidi, Veni. Welcome, AlwaysRightBoy! every morning!

/if liter's get this feature too, that means I'm getting ripped off
 
2012-04-30 08:25:29 AM
Those that are willing to pay $5 per month are a pack of self-important, elitist ... hey, wait a minute!

THIS - Ten times THIS...

/Just sayin.
 
2012-04-30 08:33:39 AM
I for one don't want anymore TFers. Why would we want liters that have to be recruited?
 
2012-04-30 08:38:24 AM
Three words Subby: Boobs In Email.

Admittedly, they were man boobs, but for five bucks...
 
2012-04-30 08:40:08 AM
As a conservative, I like TotalFark because it gives me a target rich environment of liberal stupidity.
 
2012-04-30 08:40:44 AM
Because it's more entertaining than your XBox Live Gold subscription.
 
2012-04-30 08:40:53 AM
First of all, no one on TF wears pants.
 
2012-04-30 08:45:17 AM
By upgrading to TF you won't be a total loser any more. You'll be a partial loser.

See what I mean?

Grables'Daughter: First of all, no one on TF wears pants.

That's right. After I got TF I started wearing skirts and dresses exclusively. The breeze on my balls has cleared up my fungal rash, and my legs look fantastic in stockings.
 
2012-04-30 08:50:02 AM
It would be great if the idea of seeing the same people post the same pictures and having the same conversations day after day after day is appealing to you.

Seeing all the links before they go green is the best reason.
 
2012-04-30 08:51:38 AM
There's a lot more of the same people in TFD, so the discussions tend to be a lot more respectful. I mean, there's still plenty of snark particularly towards the submitter.

But there's a different feel between mainpage threads and TFD threads. More in-jokes in TFD. It may even come off as cliquey at first (and sometimes it is) but it's a clique that is open to nearly anyone with $5.

It has its pros and cons. There is less fundamentalism, political discussion, and bigotry
in TF but a LOT of circle-jerk threads and, in general, bullsh*t.

We tend to know each other a lot better. Or a lot more about each other. When one of us dies, such as RabidDog or NasKar, the community aspect really comes out.

When I was sick for these past few years, I got an incredible amount of support from TFers/TFettes.

But I know that TF's not for everyone. Which is fine. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't.
 
2012-04-30 08:54:45 AM
My favorite bit about being a TF'er is seeing all of the headlines that DON'T make it, especially when huge news happens and everyone tries to make with the funny.

So many tickets to hell.
 
2012-04-30 08:58:42 AM
Is your mom hot?
 
2012-04-30 08:58:54 AM
You can watch the evolution of FARK from Darwins' own pertch.


/you'll get over it

shivashakti: There's a lot more of the same people in TFD, so the discussions tend to be a lot more respectful. I mean, there's still plenty of snark particularly towards the submitter.

The other side of that coin is that TF doesn't put up with a particular type of bullshiat. Those caught violating the generally accepted guidelines* are more likely to be called out and publicly shamed, where in the general Fark queue they might be ignored or lost in the brouhaha.

/*They're more a set of suggestions than guidelines, really.

TotalFark grew my penis 8 more inches and got me a date with Kate Upton. It also sends me a steak every other day, got me a pet dragon, and gave me a job as a tour guide on Whore Island and takes out my trash (both garbage and people I don't like). So it's O.K. I guess.

shivashakti: There's a lot more of the same people in TFD, so the discussions tend to be a lot more respectful. I mean, there's still plenty of snark particularly towards the submitter.

Really? TF seems like a gigantic circle-jerk, much more like high school than anything else.

That's because you seem to hang out in the Politics tab, friendo.
 
2012-04-30 09:04:20 AM
Because you can write "FIRST!" in every single thread before the stinkin' liters get a hold of them.
 
2012-04-30 09:06:26 AM
There's so much more to read and comment on.
 
2012-04-30 09:09:37 AM
Grables'Daughter: I want my red heels back, please.

But they look fantastic on me! And they match my European traveling bag.

BIE, baby.

BIE.
