Despite what's been said, it doesn't change the fact that this is the only forum I've ever been to that requires users to pay a fee to access all features (and I have been and still go to a number of forums that are as big or bigger than this one). It's one thing to ask for donations (which many sites don't even allow you to do give), but another to more or less hold features ransom.

Sure, it's not a big deal, but it certainly made me disgruntled when the change was announced. What many of you fail to realize is that without the users on this site, there would be no site. It would be boring and dull. Not to mention, no one would want to advertise with a low traffic site...and that is where the funding money is made. If it isn't enough money to fun the site (which, on other sites, it usually is), then donations should be requested. As many of you have stated, you paid the fee to support the site, not to get the features or join an elite. That would lead us to assume that the withholding of those features would have no bearing on your decisions to contribute, right? I'm sure even more would open their wallet if they knew the site was in dire straits.

So, I don't really see how it could be any more obvious what needs to be done from here. Everyone should get their features, and those who want to support the site should continue to do so.
