You think it is a good idea to monetize the site with some ads instead of subscriptions? And would you leave as a member if you will have to pay for membership?

To the man with two first names.
Bill & Kerry have stated that they abhor that kind of advertising. I have tried it on my sites and never made enough cash from it to warrant the extra bandwidth & wasted browser space. While it may work in some situations, I doubt that these good folks are eager targets for ads.
After all, this forum is about getting off the grid and sharing ideas openly with the aim of surviving what most of us believe are times of global crisis. One thing I appreciate about this forum is the distinct lack of such advertising.
I also want to say that those who question the need for a stream of income to offset our hosts' expenses might want to keep in mind that they travel to their interviewees and get current, rare, and cutting-edge information that might not be possible if their travel was restricted by lack of finances. I can afford to pay for my subscription and have offered to pay for 2 others to ease the hardship and spread the wealth of this information.
Keep your ideas coming!
