No, he wants to stay on donations only and I agree. A ‘paid’ forum operates under a different set of rules AND regulations.
I prefer mail in checks so I send a check for three months at a time.
If the laws, regulations, etc change then I see it. He hadn’t mentioned that.

A $1.00-5.00 donation enables you to post new threads after 1 week.
No donation will result in you being able to post new threads after 5 weeks.
A one time nudge shouldn’t be too awful. Particularly given how optional it would be.
