Thread: POLL: Adding for-pay membership options

Hi Guys and gals.

We are thinking about adding for-pay options to this site to help support it.
Before you get all anxious, let me assure you that the non-paying part of this site will not change in any way. I.e. SRP as it exists today would still be the SRP of tomorrow.

But we are thinking about giving subscription members the opportunity to maintain a personalized blog.
And another thing we are looking at is personal straightrazorplace.com email addresses. This could be used for example by people who would rahter not use their personal email. Or perhaps it could be used for a paypal account dedicated to shaving stuff.
And others would perhaps be interested in a bigger PM box.

We have not yet decided upon amounts yet. We could have several options. For example, 20$ for a year, and 100$ for 50 years. These are just examples on MartialTalk.com, which is why I mention them.

By creating a supportive membership option, we can add extra options to the site, for those who are interested. Adding those options will cost money (software,time , server resources, etc...) which is in part why they are not here now.
It is also not our intention to milk this for money. I am still not going to be paid (except in eternal gratefullness which might come in handy for the afterlife) So even if we would run up a surplus amount of money, I can see that being used for additional features, or perhaps a raffle among subscription members.

Keep in mind that this is still long term stuff. For now I want to know if there is anough interest to warrant the time of setting something up and doing the numbers.
The assumption is that it'll be a couple of tens of $ per year, and substantially less for longer periods.
So please vote, and post any feedback you might have
