Well I feel if Bill and Kerry can run away to Aussie and pay a couple hundred thousand to join the ark I think they can handle the cost of this site. Where do the people who have not the funds to run away HIDE...........:annoyed_h4h:If they want the world to know and wake up this will be free of charge if not I'm gone.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Hmm..a bottle of 2008 Rogue XS Imperial Stout or a paid subscription to Project Avalon/Project Camelot?

Both are worthy investments but I can't age the forum and drink it and come to think of it, I can't barter the forum if I need food and someone else needs booze.

Seriously, if the price to subscribe is reasonable, I could be persuaded.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Thinking about this issue several questions have come to mind.

Firstly who pays for Bill and Kerrys trips to interview witnesses and whistleblowers, do they pay for this out of their own pockets? That is a considerable burdon if they do.

Do the whistleblowers contribute themselves to get Bill and Kerry to come and interview them...in which case they would have to be very careful that they did not generate a conflict of interest. i.e. a potential witness could hope to tap into the forums audience for their own interests. Some of these people may have books and other items to promote etc.

Thinking about this further I would be very happy if my contributions were used by Bill and Kerry for their expenses so that such a conflict would not arise.

Dutchie I think your comment highly uncharitable but perhaps the timing of this poll coinciding so closely with Bills intentions to relocate is perhaps unfortunate.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

I sure hope that the future of the Avalon doesn't become another" disclosure project"...I love Bill and Kerry for what they are and what they do. But I very much believe that information must be free to deliver. I just do not want to see this project become another one of those we've seen before...

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

My personal opinion is a paid forum would encourage more dis information,as the PTB disinformationists have all the money they need,while the rest of us have not.

Uncharitable? I think not

With ya on that;this type of info needs to be free and yes I think they are pretty great for getting all this out and if they continue better for us all.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

I can assure everyone that this was pure coincidence.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

When I logged on this am and read bill's post I was angry and full of fear.
Angry because it all boils down to yet again ;only the rich and elite who get to run and hide and have the best protection.
Fearful because where am I and my family to go, what are we to do when all these things happen? No extra funds no protection!

Yes projects camelot and avalon have awakend me and I thank them dearly for it but their just the stepping stones I needed nothing more.

So I take a few deep breaths and say to myself; we will survive with or without them . Will they continue without funding;perhaps, if not there are more stones out there folks.:original:

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

I have no problem with a subscription if they need the money to continue the site. BUT...

THE SITE MUST REMAIN OPEN AND FREE TO ALL, WEATHER THEY PAID A DONATION OR NOT.

Otherwise a class system will devolop of "us" & "them." I have seen it happen before.

If any part of the site is closed off, I would leave.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

MAybe im wrong but i dont know of any other site on the net that has this quality of information. May i ask why thay are going to charge ? If you need a place to host the Avalon forum I would offer to host for Avalon's forums for FREE! In hopes to prevent a subscription charge. PM me if your interested. I agree that this information should be free to public !

peace

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Hmmm, do I detect a few crops of sour grapes in some posts? Who, in their right frame of mind would expect by right, entry into an establishment that has, as I understand it, a price of some $48 million with more infrastructure to be built?

FACT 1. Like it or not we live in a capitalist world and it is populated by the haves and the have nots. Get used to it - most of us have had to. :sad:

FACT 2. You are going to die. It is inevitable. No argument. :rip_1:

So get on with enjoying the years left to you and try doing something meaningful instead of eating your heart out with envy. :thumbdown:

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

How incredibly useful...a place to find and talk to people on similar quests for truth...

This site has been a blessing for me, but I cannot afford another single bill in my life.

I gave up my car and bought a bike...no gas bill, no insurance bill..yea!

I have tons of things in abundance to be grateful for in my life, money isn't one of them.

I'm sure there are those out there who are less fortunate that I.

If we can't afford to join, then we are cut-off.

hmmm...searching for the truth alone is a lot slower, this place is so great for sharing....it would be sad.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

I will leave if Avalon doesn't become a paid service.

In fact, I already did.

The poll suggests that 81% of the respondents have no business
posting at Avalon, as proven by the porn tantrum thrown by
excalitber last week. Just because I left, doesn't mean I wasn't lurking.

Some suggestions for the administrations discussion

-If technically viable, Avalon remains available for all comers on a read
only basis. This way no one is denied critical information.

- paid subscribers are held to a higher standard leaving the food fight of the open forum and entering a classroom/library environment. Serious participants only. I left when I was attacked
personally for voicing my opinion. Attacking the individual rather than
the argument is inappropriate. I can find this behavior at any roadhouse bar. Mods, please see my reputation counter for documentation.

That is my opinion. You are welcome to attack it. Attacks directed at me personally will not be tolerated.

Sounds like D.C. ...if you can't pay, you don't have a voice.

:smoke:

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

yes... (bags packed ready)
all info is available out there -

if a subscription based forum it runs the danger of becoming a kind of exclusive cult
not for me

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

You do have a voice if you vote. So maybe it would be possible to have voting polls free to the public.

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Yes, i would leave if this forum was only open for paid subscribers.
Also it would be a turnoff for new people who had something to offer of new information. I think the forum would loose many information sources, and
from that the forum itself would loose its attraction to people.
They would go to ATS or some other place instead to post new stuff, or to just read up on whats happening out there.

Paid subscription is a wrong path to go down into!
You would basically shoot yourself in the foot, it would not served Project Avalon/Camelot or the people on it. It would be a loose/loose situation for all.

Keep up the good work! :trumpet:

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Do you feel that a vote of yay or nay or even multiple choice is an adequate expression of 'voice'?

:smoke:

Re: Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?
 

Bill and Kerry are going to wake up today, check out the forum and find that 80% of people would leave rather than pay a subscription and in another poll find out that 65% think the forum only satisfactory or worse.

They might be thinking 'why do we bother'.

I hope they don't take it as a personal slight against their hard work.
