Absolutely - the counter is that we didn’t want to create a two tier membership model ala talkbass because it had a certain effect on the feel of the community.
The plan going forward is to target specific user groups (those with a renewal coming up, those who have over X posts who haven’t made a payment etc etc) to explain to them how they can help us (we have a donate button too) and I think that should have the desired effect - when people have emailed me individually with queries about this topic they’re always very understanding and willing to help (like above). Plus this will be far easier to implement at this stage.
Cheers
