I play WoW. I already pay for use of their forums.

Thus, if I had a debit card, I probably might. :p

No more than ten bucks a year. But I would like to see new features rolled out.

Eheh... No. If I were charged... Er.. How many posts on my thingy? Oh yeah. If I were charged $2252, for every fucking post, I would kill someone. Also, I think it's bad juju to make these kinds of threads, as it gives assholes like Kotick something to think about.

If I were paying to post shit, I better get attention, quotes out the ass, some kind of badge, or SOMETHING in return. Because otherwise, it's simply a waste of fucking money. What we post on the internet doesn't matter, at all. So if we were to pay to post on these forums, just to give our opinions and input, that'd be stupid!

Nope, not a chance. It's nice and all, but I have better things to spend my money on.

Uh... there's already pay to make an account forums, like SA. You even have to pay to change your avatar, custom title, and to use the PM system. All come at individual costs. Anyway, no, I wouldn't pay for any forum.

Not a chance in hell. I'd be out of here faster than some simile for something that movies fast.

Yeah, I'm a premium member, but that's only because I watch a lot of old videos and all the ads piss me off. I'm certainly not paying for this forum, especially on a pay to post model.

No way. I'd rather spend my money on video games then spend my money to talk about video games.

Posting is what I do when I'm bored. Charging me money to do that is incentive to get me to do something else.

I certainly wouldn't pay for this forum. I have an account on the Something Awful forums, but I don't think I'd pay to post anywhere else.

Lack of credit card. So no, I would not pay, I still click on the ads, if that means anything.

Pretty much this. Or I'd spam WoW's Trade channel even more than I do now because I am paying for that.

Ive payed to be in the pubclub...So...Does that mean ive already sold out?

I wouldnt pay per post, And To be honest, I wouldn't pay more than a couple of pounds a month to use the forums.

Any more than that and the escapist stops being a place that seems to care about its community and starts to look an awful lot like a Corp.

Ive got nothing against corps, But it loses its "Family friendlyness" appeal.

No, I am not going to spend money on something that will probably never be mentioned again. If anyone ever gets this idea of putting a subscription fee on a fucking forum, then I'm sorry you will fail.

Pretty much that. ^

I don't mind paying a small amount once, like I already did for the Something Awful forums a long time back.

But some kind of subscription? Fuck no...

Main reason I'm here is content like videos and occasional articles. Which is simply easier to get here, but if it wasn't - someone would just put up all the videos on youtube or other sites. Considering how often you can easily view copyrighted material posted "illegally" on youtube and similar websites... Well, you know where that's going.

I would never pay in order to post on a forum. I'd rather spend that money on things like video games and books.

Never. I have better things to do with my time than post on a forum i'd have to pay for.
