Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?

People come here because of the work that both Kerry and Bill did at Camelot. That work is not ending and neither is the info that is being generated here by them or our team. Anyone can read for free at any time.

Actually, you know some thing, I just sat and thought about it.

I read the news papers. In order to read them i pay for them. I pay a £1.40 a day.

If I ditch the papers and subscribe here... i'll have real news, real people, and interaction with like minded folks.

I cannot believe it took me so long to figure that out....

DOH!

But the sources of information will be severely limited! Yes anyone can READ it, but they can't contribute. I own 9 forums, I have tried subscriptions, it has dropped interactive users to 10-15 %. Without users you don't have a forum!

The definition of forum is: a public facility to meet for "open" discussions.

Its no longer OPEN when you force people to subscribe. So its no longer a forum.

I retract my vote, after a week of reading posts related to this topic as well as Bill and Kerry's comments, I will definitely be staying on here.
