If these forums charged, how much would you pay?

[FoxEye]

Why do we have to monetise everything anyhow?

Are we so obsessed by money that this is the yardstick by which we measure everything?

 

[manbearpig]

Nothing, I would go to another forum.

 

[Pighardia]

You don't compute.

 

[Reaper 392]

nothing. its the principal of the thing.

also, we'd probably just move over to another forum if this one became pay per view

Actually I find I measure everything in 'pints of beer I could buy instead of buying the thing in question'.

And wierdly I'm not joking. Was thinking about seeing 'Harry potter and the Herpes of fire' or whatever it's called for £8, and decided I'd rather have 2.5 pints with my mates!!!! I've started to measure everything against its 'more or less value to me then x pints with my mates' currency :/

It's not the cost, it's the principle.

Where the hell is that?

Jokester already linked to the sub-forum.

I'd probably pay £10, maybe £20 if that was what the forums cost per year and while I don't much want to pay the actual cost wouldn't bother me too much - if measuring it against comparable sources of entertainment it's still a bargain. The only better deal for me is the £0.60 or so that goes towards the Royal Family and Prince Philip in particular although it must be said he does appear to have been winding down in recent years.

It's all academic though as it's exceedingly unlikely to ever become a forum that charges.

 

[TheCenturion]

you get access to the pr0n forum at 10k posts right?

 

[morguk]

£5.

It would be like a secret club.. or cult? OCUK Cult.. niceeee

 

[arknor]

i'd pay nothing just like i do on the competitor forums lets face it whilst ocuk might claim they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts any decent online busisness worth it salt cant afford not to have a forum

 

[.Lethal]

Nothing.

 

[Puppetmaster]

Well not directly, but the forums are paid for either by ocuk profits or spies salary, both of which I contribute to by buying stuff

 

[~>Dg<~]

no this is not sa and as great as that is i would still not pay

 

[fozter]

Of course not, the population of this forum creates the content, it wouldn't be much without us

 

[Nix]

I wouldn't.

The second such a thing would happen here, the community would change. It works because it is accessible and free.

Payment would only see splinter communities form as has done in the past, except they may this time be more popular.

For all those that say 'nothing' -

If I offered you a £6 steam game as a gift the condition being you have to stay away from these forums for 3 years .. presumably you'd agree?

If not .. does not compute!!!

WHAT?
