If DS started charging, would you still post here?

Like an annual registration fee?
I probably would but I would hope it would have an effect on the number of PBUs who continue to return and clutter the place up with their shit.

(Mods, this thread is not intended to give you any ideas!)

    If it was like it is now, then no bloody way. If it meant the idiot trolls and PBUs sodded off, then maybe. But that's not how it would work in reality- it would just become a ghost town, because the rest of forumland is out there and not charging admission.

    And while it might be a price worth paying to get rid of the inane bullshit, it would be far cheaper for me to just bugger off somewhere with a lower tolerance for that crap.

    I was thinking something similar. Not that I'd pay to your outpourings but that I really should start charging for my own effluent.

    If the forums offered something worth paying for, but they're not all that. It's nice little time waster but there's loads of ways to procrastinate for free.

    It's been a long time since there was an outbreak of rabies in the UK, but it doesn't follow that we could do with a new one...

    I doubt it very much. Unless it was £1 a year.

    True dat. However, it would be interesting to see where everyone stood currently, going by the state of things here at the moment.
    Well, to me anyway...

    Yeah, that does make it a more interesting question, to be fair.
