I give $10 a month. If my situation improves, that donation will increase. There are a lot of regular posters on FR. It seems like people who can afford a computer and an internet service provider could also commit to a regular FR donation.
Please FReepers, let’s get it done.
And that is sort what I am talking about.
Those folks want to claim membership to FR, but they don’t financially contribute. All the begging in the world isn’t going to change that. All the threats of FR potentially going away next quarter isn’t going to change that...
Why do “they” have so much sway in the operations of this site?
Fleeting thought across my mind...do they remind you of anyone in our society now? Using resources and the expense of “the rich?”
My suggestion is to allow a newbie to sign up and participate for a probation period. At the end of the period they can have the option to subscribe to maintain privileges or go to read only.
