What would you do if the forum had a subscription fee (to post classifieds, etc)?

Not really talking about the IT stuff...........

What if the forum takes more than 6k a year?

Does Vb have to keep records of who paid?

Does VB have to be transparent about how he spends the money?

I just think it will open a can of worms...........

I don't see a problem - if VB makes a few bob out of it for himself he deserves it!
