I suspect people would leave in droves. Anyway - what do you propose giving the paid-up member? Simply allowing access won't cut it, they will want something for their subscription.

Well, I can't vote in this poll but I would say no. I say we introduce a tax on threads about Dream Theater.

and don't forget Rush as well... we'll have M@X in that big home in no
time. Hell we could even have a per diem plan for our collabs to
reimburse us for the albums we have to buy to keep up and catch up with
everything in the world of prog

I can't vote in this poll (dunno why?) but I think it's a bad idea, it would be creating a private members club that would only serve those that could afford it. At the moment people need educationg in the art of buying V. illegal downloading and many state financial contsraints as a reason for taking music illegally..... if they can't afford the music, how are they expected to be able to afford to talk about it??? Although like Bob says, I am sure those than can afford something should consider voluntary contributions maybe??? P-C

To be members of... ProgArchives, or member just in general? I wouldn't pay, I'd say bye bye.

I guess a better idea would be to make artists pay for having their albums listed here!

I can't vote here either. Anyway, If that ever happens, I expect to start making at least minimum wage.

And a minimum of $100 for starting a poll or thread which involves Dream Theater!

Sorry Mike, I've already claimed the idea of the Dream Theater tax!
I like the idea of charging bands - I'm always open to bribes for a good review.
I think the voting problem is a bug which happens when a poll is moved to a different part of the forum.
