Wowhead "Premium" (good or bad?)

So this is something I'm debating inside of my head. 4 bucks a month isn't that big of a deal, but I have been using the wowhead website for free for a long time now. Perhaps I owe them something. On the other hand, the users are what make this website great, and the forums are mostly user based, and not managerial based, so perhaps they owe me something.
I think in the end, I will either buy premium, out of principle, or fight against it, out of principle. I'm not sure which yet...

I'll pay yearly for it so it'll be only $2.50 a month for me. and that's more than worth it for no more captcha!

I noticed the 'direct email' with malgayne and skirosis (or whatever his name is)... now if it were "malgayne, mytie, and skirosis" I would definately sign up... because MyTie is awsome. But then I remembered that MyTie's email is in his signature, free of charge.

I like to think that if I do put my money into wowhead, the money would be used to help implement some positive changes around the randomeness forums... I'm sure many of the random users would be inclinded to agree....

Random users or Random
ness
users?
And I don't think it's something you sign up for per se....
Most of this money is going to come from regular users, who use the forums, many of which come to randomness. But, I feel randomness has been neglected. If randomness shows improvements, I will buy premium, and encourage others to do so. If randomness continues to be ignored, I will not buy it, and question randomness users who do.

Because Randomness is the reason that Wowhead exists.
rite gusy?
No. But if the only part of the website I use is randomness, and it gets neglected, why would I invest? Why would any randomness user invest? On the other hand... things could improve. Then I would have no problem paying the cost twice over.
Sorry Queggy, I don't care about icons.

Valandilv's point is that randomness is a 'secondary' item, which doesn't matter. This is true at face value, but what I realize, and I bet Malgayne realizes, is that the
regulars
come here. This is where he is most likely to get reacurring customers.
@Zaputo - Reputation and word of mouth are very important in the market. In this case, opinions matter.
Edit Edit: Again, at this point I haven't decided whether it is a good thing or not. I reserve my opinion for later.
