The most inviting way I have found for getting me to pay for anything is to have a YEARLY, not monthly, payment of say $15 to $35. I have given several times before, but doing so, and the thousands of other things I have to do every year, gets burdensome. I would have no problem shelling out $35 each year, as I have given far more than that already and have no regrets. This site is worth it, even with our current moderator “issues”. As someone else already said, this site is the “Rush of the Internet”, and that is not a stretch by any means. Besides, maybe paying for it may allow the site to be a little more private, while being completely inviting to the public, and allow a more flexible content.

As far as the detractors, give 'em a raspberry, this Internet thing must be working.

P.S. If it takes more than $35, so be it. The news alone is worth the price of ANY newspaper subscription!

P.S.S. NEVER use advertisers. They would clutter the site and detract from our unbiased, and sometimes entertainingly harsh, opinions.

I agree. Many of us have yearly magazine subscriptions we value, and/or subscriptions to other less interactive sites on the Net (newsletters and such). To me, $15-$35 a year sounds like a reasonable range to consider for all the fun we're having, friends we're making, and information we're sharing.

God bless you and God bless America!

I'd be willing to pay $15-$20 monthly for the serivce anc even donate a little as some more money came my way. Keep up the site Jim, and remember that we need you!! Matthew Viti
