My two cents
I like the idea of a 30 day free membership. That would be enough time to convince anyone of the value of this forum.
I certainly would be willing to pay for the privilege of participating/viewing. For a while, I just about lived in the archives! They and the critiques have been invaluable in my own growth as an artist.
It's a good idea to have some "hardship" waivers, though.
It appears that the subject of money is bringing up a lot of emotions in people. But this forum is definitely worth some money spent and it sure beats Cynthia having to quit doing it if the administrative costs get to be too much.
