Thats the hard choice about all this. We got past that though, it has been made. Now subscription is coming, dont know when yet, but depending on implementation timescales, everyone of the members here will need to decide for themselves if they feel it is within them to find the money (and there are some creative ideas discussed about to help people with financial hardship get a subscription) - reading is still free remember. The decision can be delayed - so people not confident to make the upfront commitment - need not until they are ready.

Why would you kill your customers - assuming thats what you think they are.

This forum has room for over double the membership so why would anyone be thinking about reducing the people? It doesn't make any sense at all.

I am telling you, that according to what I know, and what I know in MY heart, they are telling the truth about running out of money.
