Just had what I think is a good idea. Basically a twist on price discrimination - everyone pays what they are prepared to pay. Every member is given the option to 'subscribe' or not. If you choose not to you pay nothing and have access to most of LFGSS. This will enable new/occassional members to contribute.
If you decide you want to 'subscribe' you decide how much you want to pay for a years subscription from 1p to infinity pounds. This way the market sets its own price, everyone pays what they are happy paying.
As a little livener your avatar would show whether you are a free or subscribed member. Also, depending on what you decide to contribute per year you get assigned a bike. For example:
0p unsubscribed/fakenger
1 - 99p Unipack
.
.
£25 and over Gold plated Hetchins or something.
That way everyone has access. If you pay a little towards the forum you have a little more access, plus you can pay what you want/can afford. Occassional users can decide to pay a little as they only use it once in a blue moon. Heavy users/sellers can pay more - if they choose to.
Everyone get's a bike showing what they are so you can't pay 1p and sell all day as the LFGSS community will shame you into doing the right thing.
Basically - the market will regulate itself.
Everyone is happy.
Wheres my blowy?
