Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?

A discussion forum is something that all members contribute their time and knowledge to. No-one should have to pay to participate in an exchange like that.

If you need to charge for something then charge for the product itself... ie.. Project Camelot videos. Perhaps one dollar per view would be fair and would generate a lot of money.

If you insist on disseminating that info for free then choose some other product to sell. A fee for the discussion forum should be the last thing on your list. It is unprecendented i'd say for good reason. It's not fair.

I wouldn't pay to read and contribute what I and other forum members post here. A lot of it is just blather and personal opinion anyway.... which is all very well as a free exchange.

Agree with everything you stated here. Good post and to the point.
