I think it would be a mistake to convert this forum to paid membership participation before exercising all options. In my opinion, this should be considered only as a last resort, if the stated purpose is indeed to cover expenses, rather than to make a profit.
Many people have stated they would be willing to pay varying amounts of money to ensure the continuation of this forum as a resource, so why not give people the option of donating as they see fit. If successful, this approach would allow everyone to continue their membership.
In the event this didn't generate enough money to cover the forum
