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

I've read hundreds of responses and am teetering towards NOT implementing a subscription model. However, if another motherfucker just dare try and present a serious argument to the view that I don't have a right to earn even a trivially small token amount from the forum... then really, you'll have guaranteed that I do.

Do you promise to abide by the above?

If so then I'll write a lengthy and partly abusive diatribe insisting that you are an evil capitalist pig who deserves to be raped by a goat faced hybrid rider. That should hopefully, eventually, convince you to sort things out and draw some reward from this site that is monetarily more tangible than an electronically provided pat on the back.
