Become a lapdog. Serve the ECA.
I had joined before any of this mess. I believed that I was joining a legitimate cause, signed up for their newsletter, never really needed any of their benefits. As I received their daily newsletters, I was able to re-read stories i'd usually find if I was active in the game community in the first place. I have one of their shirts to advertise the cause. I told friends about it. I believed I was helping out a community.<br /><br />I then wanted to become an active member in their online community. After reading their forum posts, I decided I didn't want to. It seems that all newcomers with ideas in their minds were idiots, and those that have been there longer were the right ones. I decided to stray away. Besides, that couldn't be how the majority of its members acted, right?<br /><br />But a few days ago, a problem suddenly came up. Because of a rush of users a month or two ago, the ECA decided that they couldn't handle the load it was given. They had a brilliant idea where you wouldn't be able to cancel your membership online anymore, call it a 'hoax,' remove their cancellation phone number from the web site, and then ask you to send a certified letter because it was otherwise it would be 'lost.' An organization based off of the internet doesn't have the ability to have a few lines of code implemented in their website without having an entire structural redesign.<br /><br />I wouldn't waste my time sticking with them. There are plenty of advocacy groups fighting for your rights. This one is just looking for some more funding to forward their own propaganda. Save your $20 and go buy some shovelware. In the end, it'll just serve you better.
