Just wanted to get the thoughts of others on this.
Not sure how active this site would become if they start charging a membership fee. While I appreciate the time/effort/money the administrator has put into this site, a forum/bulletin board system like this is not terribly complicated to setup or maintain and many people have access to cheap or free web hosting. A very similar (and free except for a few members-only forums) T-Bird BB is available
here.
How may of you would be willing to pay for this site if something similar is available elsewhere? My experience with other (non-auto) bulletin boards has been that as soon as they start charging fees, the site is usually abandoned.
