The model is freemium. I wanted to work out the bugs with the early adopters (we're in beta), and then reward them with a discount when we launch our premium hosting. It's a chicken and egg problem. There currently aren't any users to subsidize your free site because we've just launched.
If you're truly interested in our monthly paid accounts, you can put yourself on our waiting list here:

Thanks for the comment. It seems that the "kick-ass" in tag line might not be a great idea, like you said. ;)
- TheSOB88 17y agoI don't think it's a chicken-and-egg at all. Users don't need other users for the site to be useful to them, they just need the site to be good. Sure, you'll be more likely to attract new users if you have more - through word of mouth. It's not like a dating site where the users are the service.
- flooha 17y agoI agree. I was just responding to his comment that he doesn't trust a service that doesn't have paying users who subsidize the free users. The point of the freemium model is to attract paying users.
