Would You Pay to Subscribe to this Forum?

No, I would not pay for this, or any, forum.

[Chaos_Theory!]

Sorry my ion is just as good as anythign else out there and i dont dwell on stupid **** like the anti SP bandwagon.

I like the idea of a Paypal donate button. I've used it on several other comics/services on the net.

Yearly access fee? Nnnn, not so sure. Depends on the price really.

Restricting access to the BST forums will kill them.
Restricting access at all will likley kill AO.

Restricing access to something irrelivant like signatures/avatars, that could work. :) (I'd like my sig back too! )

To be honest, because I run an AGD based business I would have to.

Just to hang out and shoot the breeze, no.

5 years ago, maybe.

Wow, I didnt even think about what kind of hit the agd dealers would take with this forum not being here. I am sure quiet a bit of all the dealers business comes from AO one way or another, directly or by referals.



If paying is limited to just the b/s/t access, you could post a thread and recieve PM's from people wanting to buy products and take care of all your business threw PMs. That might not be to bad.

I probably would pay a nominal fee as an annual subscriber kinda thing....... IF we get sigs and pic hosting back .

Donation is a lot better. Put up a graph showing how close we are for each month. Host a fundraiser game once a year.

Thay are evil nazis..now go back to pbn...ion lover.....

Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." The custom has evolved that the first party to utter "Hitler" or "Nazi" has lost the discussion, and the thread terminates

Like someone said before, if it were 5 years ago, I might have paid. But now? No...Probably not.

Not that I don't support AGD and Tom anymore, it's just not my main lifestyle anymore like it used to be a few years ago.

Tom, I know you love AO and its members, but if the forum isn't profitable to you, it's not worth keeping. I think a lot of people like the idea of "donating" but when it comes down to it, you'd be lucky to get enough to cover the expenses and in the end, you're still spending your own money to keep this site open.

Alright, this has gotten out of hand. I am closing the thread. I just had a discussion with Dave and AO is going to stay like it is for some time.

Thanks
