Hi, DPY2KZ -
Thanks for implying that you like the game.
We decided to make BBMO a subscription-based game for several reasons. If you search the boards you can probably find some year-old posts somewhere where we talk about it.
The key reasons are:
1.) It keeps involvement up. In free leagues, like many fantasy sports sites have, lots of players create teams that they never manage. This detracts from other player's enjoyment of the game
2.) It costs us money. We have to pay for a T1 line as well as several high-end servers to run the game. Even if we work cheap, we still have to pay the bills.
3.) Advertising doesn't cut it any more. We don't run pop-ups (because we hate them, and our customers hate them), and there is not much money in banners these days.
We are about to roll out an affiliate program, however, so if you have a website where you can refer people to us then you can earn your subscription. How does that sound? (Note: I'm not sure if there is an age limit... I'll have to check with the lawyers...)
Thanks for your interest,
James Grove

Any way to get a free version of BBM2K3 for being an online member? I've paid just as much :)
