Not sure how we'd define "responsible" adverts, but I'd go along with it. I also thought that they might approach it like public TV, and just regularly ask for donations. There are months I could send in a few bucks and I'd be glad to do so. But a paid subscription at ANY level seems wrong to me.

So: Good Thread! Thank you for seeking input and opinions on this! Let's find a positive solution to pay for this site.

Do any of US have small businesses we'd like to pay for an ad for? I sure would if my soapmaking business takes off, and I'm currently hooking up with a couple partners who seem to really want to make it happen. I don't really see selling soap here, but some others may have services that would fit right in.
