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

So... voluntary subscriptions? Basically commitment to donating annually.

And the survey wasn't as complex as it probably should've been. More than half were in the "unwilling" segment to pay for a subscription... but yet 2/3 of all recipients put down 2 beers a year (£6) as the amount that they felt was fair.

So it's a contradiction, "No we don't want feature based subscription" but "we do feel that £6 per year is fair". Which I've interpreted as a willingness to donate what they felt was fair since they feel that feature based subscription isn't cool. My interpretation may be whack though. Serves me right for making an overly simplistic survey.

Did the survey have a 'reasons' list for not wanting to contribute (I can't remember if it did or not)?
Something like:
a) 'ethically against' paying for things
b) too stingey
c) can't be bothered
d) spent all my money on my computer and internet connection so now have literally no money
