What I would suggest is a nominal membership fee of about $10 or so per month for the privilege of posting threads. Replies to those threads would still be free for any member, whether they are a paying member or not.

In addition to the thousands of dollars per month benefit to FR by preferred members, this would also reduce the number of threads and make this place a more streamlined source of news.

And to repeat myself, any registered member is free to post replies, but only privileged members can post threads

Ok. That sounds reasonable. That would allow lurkers and those seeking the truth (that can’t afford to pay) to still be able to access the forum. I can’t argue with that proposal.

I appreciate the people who post threads regularly, they are invaluable. That's one of the reasons I send my nominal amount each month.
