    I vote NO..

    I always vote no for charging for the "extras" in a forum...the charging seems to creep into main aspects of the forum before too long.

    I enjoy SRP and really appreciate the work, energy and $ that goes into making this community hum

    Wouldn't it be EXCITING to see SRP have all the "extras" for free. Certainly would make this site LEAP out to folks (which is not necessarily a good thing.

    I support the "bake sales" that help with $.
    Thank youse guys for a wonderful community.

    Yes, it would. If only hosting on a beefy server were cheap, and we didn't need to actually pay for software.

    Bruno, I do understand that there Is no free lunch...
    Everything costs

    This new forum software seems to be top shelf and managed by top shelf folk.

    I see both sides of the debate, but have to agree with TOB9595. Straight Razor Place is something special, and if charging 'for extras' starts to creep in,. it's the thin end of the wedge.

    I wouldn't mind a monthly raffle for a prize where members could buy a chance of winning a prize every month by making a paypal donation, but would still not like to see this compulsory.

    I hope SRP goes on in its present form. To change makes it a commecial venture and I think it would be changing things for the worse. Once something is commercial, the commercialism always takes precedence over anything else.
