   cost of Star Tiger: worth it?   
   22 May 08 15:46:21   
   
   From: dahoov2@cox.net   
      
   So I bit the bullet today and signed up with them.  They had a free   
   coupon for a month but they got wise now and made you get a credit   
   card on there (which I do not like but I see why they do it).   
      
   So I went through all 7 Harry Potter movies and down the cast lists   
   and typed in probably a hundred or so different names.  I think I   
   found THREE potential ones on there (that I didn't have or had   
   potential for a success as most were newly pending).  I think of the   
   three, only ONE had a real probability of working.   
      
   With all that work I did to yeild even three?  Not sure if 5 bucks is   
   worth it.   
      
   My next question is are people reporting their successes there?  Are   
   they reporting their pendings? I saw a ton on there I tried and   
   nothing was on there (0 RTS, 0 successes and 0 pendings).  I did add a   
   few but still, I am sure people tried these?   
      
   so what IS the main problem over there?  Or is it not them and just   
   nobody IS signing these days?   
      
   It's a shame too. I've noticed a trend ni the Harry Potter graphs.   
   Not many signing now.  ESPECIALLY kids.  Anyone under 23 is not   
   signing.  Maybe a small handful (like Ginny Wright or perhaps one or   
   two of the older ones) but really, it looks like they all don't want   
   anything to do with Potter.  It's my guess in 10 years, they'll be   
   back; begging for someone to remember them.
