10/17 is the end of my free subscription if anyone wants to check this out. Search the forums for 'subscription' if you want to follow where this discussion goes. I imagine it would be similar to what might happen on the Mudcat. I think I'll subscribe if only to study what happens when you have to pay to belong to a community.

I guess one way of looking at this is the example of paying dues for a group. If a group charges dues, you could come once, twice, more as a guest, but eventually people would give you the hairy eyeball and hope you got the hint to do SOMETHING to help support the effort.

I don't know.
