Actually, it would probably bring in more money than the model Mags has now. People tend to use things when they pay for it, or pay more for it. Look at your local soft-ball league. Teams that make their players pay a few dollars to cover t-shirts tend to have more participation. The ones that have 100% sponsorship, often have trouble keeping a consistent line-up. I think the donations here is less than $100 a month. If 20 users paid $5 a month, it would reach that.

So your plan is for me to pull out the rug from everyone, and require them to pay to be here?

You realize that would immediately kill 99% of the traffic to this site, and then it'd be dead inside of a month, right?

I said it before, I like the idea of tips for comments people like, real small amounts. House can take a rake. Even a rake from nickles and dimes adds up. It'd be an extra revenue stream without any burden on the users, totally voluntary.

Plus how cool would it be to join a site that pays you for popular comments.

For years they've been considering some crypto stuff, though what and how I don't know.
