[QUOTE="Sharin, post: 255949, member: 19828"] I support the idea as long as it doesn't go the way it did on two other forums I used to belong to. The fee varied depending on which level of a photographer you were judged to be and there were several different forums. You could not access the any forum that was higher than your level, though you could access all of the lower levels. The problems (for me) arose when the higher tiered members stopped hanging out in the lower levels and sharing their insight and expertise. I didn't mind paying $85 a year for everyone's shared content, but when the tiered system divided the forums the benefits were nil for me. And I couldn't get into one of the higher tiered groups because I am not and never will be a pro; those groups were for business pros. I am really enjoying this site and would be happy to pay to keep it up and going. Maybe this post should be a sticky, if it isn't already. I think it will be beneficial if many members weigh in on this. [/QUOTE]
