Guess this will be rubbish

Sorry, all this wingeing and whining about a $1 - $5 a month subscription to pay expenses is way over the top.

I read in several posts that it should be free. Perhaps. As long as the hosting and forum software can be free. Or filled with ads like ATS or GLP.

PC also has hosting and bandwidth costs. When bandwidth goes up, so does cost.

Flying places costs money but perhaps if they told the airlines, car rental companies, hotels and restaurants what they did, they can get all that for free too. That would help contribute the the forum being free.

If not, perhaps they can get a job somewhere in this down market to pay for their rent and other living expenses and forget Project Camelot and the interviews.

Yes, I'm being a bit sarcastic. I'm just amazed that there is so much pouting over such a low cost for getting so much. It's still FREE to read and there are 50 free memberships. I would think people would be happy to help with expenses - esp when they are so low.

Doing what they do costs money and takes a great deal of time. The money has to come from somewhere as they don't have paying jobs nor does it grow in their gardens. If they had paying jobs, they could not run around doing intereviews.

Please, give this attitude a little bit of thought.
