Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?

It's quite simple, if the owners want to use this site to make money they just add adverts, if they want to help everyone they just add paypal donation link.
It doesn't cost much to run a forum, no need to pay mods, there are always people ready to do that for free.
By keeping it free and adding adverts they will make much more money than by making people subscribe.
If they make it subscription only they will kill it, they will lose a lot of people and their opinions and help, they end up with a few people and some of which will probably think they are better than those that can't afford it.
As for a subscription stopping misinformation that's a joke isn't it???

I wouldn't want to be part of this forum if I had to pay, irrelevant of whether or not I can afford to do so.
