My belief is that you will always get the "few" who will donate/subscribe to this excellent site, and reiterating the needs for contributions to keep the site going will undoubtedly bring in a few more subscribers/donations.

Its clear that the vast majority of so called members "myself included" are thinking "I will only pay, when I can no longer access the best parts of the site for free.

Blocking adverts to subscibers is no good, its not what your advertisers are paying for they want to be sen by as many as possible. Weve already had the "rankings/Badges/premier or standard membership" argument.

A flat annual fee giving access to everything is what's required and to encourage new members, free asscess to most of the site for either a limited period or maximum number of postings, after which they should decide to pay or not.

I prefer not to pay in my own addmittance, but I am not prepared to let the site go from my life through not paying.

Well said badger and thanks for the contribution.
Let's just hope that if it becomes neccessary that more people will have the same philosophy as you and a few others. I don't want to lose this site either or it will mean having to watch the TV for entertainment.... God help us all....

OK, I am curious, if folk needed to subscribe, what would they consider value for money?

I.E:

Would you consider £5.00 a year too little or too much?

Would you consider £15.00 a year too little or too much?

Would you consider £25.00 a year too little or too much?

how about Nuke putting little halo above your name so that when you post people can see you are a subscriber.

I for one would need quite a lot for my money for £25pa but hey, at the end of the day how much is needed and from how many members and dont expect 7000+ to be signing up cos they wont. I think youll be lucky to keep 1000
(but I'll be one of them)

if MHF did go the way of paid subscriptions in some form or other it would be the lowest amount mentioned that would probably be deemed a fair amount i.e. £5, so no worries on being asked to plump up £25 !!

We have been here before. We do not agree with subscriptionsm& do not belong to any site where subscriptions are compulsory. If every site we visited were subscription only then we would just not be able to afford it. We would just go elswhere.
