Will you leave if the forum is a Paid Subscription?

After reading a good number of posts on this thread it looks pretty obvious that a subscription for all members could spell disaster for the forum.

There would be a mass exodus and those who are left would be paying for a forum that is a shadow of it's former self.

It would also be discriminating against those on a tight budget.

It would put off potential new members. etc, etc.

Clearly Camelot needs funds to continue, but this isn't the answer.
Maybe members who have got a bit of spare cash can help out more.
I for one have never donated to Camelot, but i will now that i've been made more aware of their need for funds.

I want to help because i want their good work continue.

Not because someone who gets their name in green is putting me on a guilt trip.
