Aren't just sitting around all day doing nothing anyway, you don't work anymore do you? This is the perfect job

...the gest is up...and I hope Der Einen is yoking about a fee. ANY fee would spell the end of this site as we know it. Not because $1.99 is a huge amount of money....but simply because the myth that everything about the internet is 'free'... is alive and well. Building a website with a fee, built in from day one, is one thing, but Lord have mercy on the guy who wants to now charge us a fee!!!
Two of the most successful models available on how to build a site that generates revenue are Facebook and Youtube. Both make money through ADVERTISING! Turning away users for a silly two bucks is suicide...Folks may stay a minute or two to read some dwindling posts...but will soon move on.
Outside of a dozen SoCal users, one from the Virginia and another from the Northeast? I hope there's a plan to survive with 100+ users.
IMHO...and just some friendly business advice...
