Would you pay to post?

Here's a thread (for YOU 78!). It's been brought up a little over the last few days here, so here's the question... Would you pay to be a posting member of this board? If so, how much? Do you think the idea is ridiculous? I actually think it's a great idea! I think people should be able to read here and on the main site, but that you should have to "pay to play". I think we owe Andrew that for putting up with us, and giving us a place to call home. Let's see what YOU think. :wink:

I don't care about t-shirts, unless they are baseball style and fit well ...I'd do MRX w/out one!!
I would definitely pay an annual fee, but you guys are going to have to step it up ... :wink:

Just my opinion?? As I know that some don't agree that there should be a fee involved.

Thanks Jim, I'm terrible at these things. Anyway, Id kick in $40.00 This place has given me a ton of entertainment and some good friends to joke around with, Id hate to see it go away.

I think it would kill the forum. A lot of posters just can't afford to pay to post. Those of us that can afford it, just need to hit the donate button when we can.

Thanks for ruining my surprise Rick! :roll: :lol: I was going to let a few more people post what they would pay, then inform them that Andrew has designated me as the "payment enforcer"! :lol: Whatever you people clicked that you would donate... do it NOW or I'm not going to be responsible for my actions! :shock: :lol:

I don't disagree Rick, I just thought it would be interesting to find out.

This place is as much fun as a STD lately, but come on, 40 bucks is nothing.

I'd gladly pay that if it would help out Andrew

I'd say it is worth $40 to post here and I agree who ever agrees donate $40 to the site, it is already set up on the main page.
