Wouldn't have to worry about spammers and the neffers that don't take their neffing seriously. ;)

Hell yes I would. It would clean this place up quite a bit. I used to pay for it and I loved it.

...sigh, gone are the days. :(

I paid the $20/year back when AT had the option subscription. There were benifits to that though...faster servers, no ads, more PM's...as opposed to downside of NOT subscribing(like not having forums available).

Me too. I imagine it might cut down on the moron quotient, so in that respect I'd actually favor a paid service.

I was a subscriber so I did pay to play.:)

I'd pay. It'd get all the useless posters out of here most likely. Mind you I wouldn't pay much more than $25 a year, but I'd still pay to a degree.

It would definitely clean up this place.

I actually did subscribe when it was offered. I really wouldn't mind paying though I think this place might lose much of its appeal.

I have paid, & would gladly do it again.

In fact I begged them to let me pay them $100+ to ride out the subscription forums until the end, & would gladly pay $100+ a year for a subscription.
