I couldn't agree more. I too am off to Yahoo.
I admit that I find this game nicer to look at than Yahoo but I only play Pool for a bit of fun when I'm bored so I there is no way I would be willing to pay to play.
I think I would stay here but the community is not particularly nice here so I don't even see the point of paying to be part of that.
It will be interesting to see how this site fairs now. It states that we do not see adverts if we pay so they must be losing revenue from sponsers. I wonder if this lose will be more or less than the money raised through people actually paying.
