Topic: Who would pay to use this forum? - page 2. (Read 2616 times)
We should probably support the forum as best we can and try to pay our way, but no, it should not be mandatory. We don't want to dissuade good and interested folk from using the forum.
I like donation only, but more effort should be made to gather donations. Maybe those most concerned should but a bitcointalk.org donation link in their signatures?
I guess for me it boils down to the question what do we get in exchange, what would be better than now ?
Oh look, it's the next stage of a falling community, people crying out for the monetisation of the website in order to prop it up, remind you lot of anything?

reading the forums could be free.
maybe posting could require a subscription.
But why? Over half of what happens on this forum is answering questions people have. If they can't ask questions anymore, then what's the point? Bitcoin pros telling each other how great bitcoin is?
According to my stats I've spent 25 entire days of my life on this forum, so yes I would have no problem paying.
I have donated BTC to the forums before & will donate more in future.

The point of these forums is to share bitcoin with the world, but the world isn't going to pay to learn about bitcoin. So no, I wouldn't pay. Also, I don't find the forums particularly dirty.
will you put your coins where your cakehole is?
it could clean up the forums, reward the hired hands, and support the developers for their efforts.
it could help - it could hurt.
