Now #1 brings another side issue, which unfortunately is vital to the success of the subscription model; what happens if the "subscription fee" turns out to be not enough? At any rate when you exchange moneys for services or product your obligations, as a supplier, are significantly more than when you take donations for the same services/products. I would also suggest that the amount of money that was donated is the maximum amount one would get if CCC/CTF was to be subscription based; the upside for the donations model is that all posters are still here. Fernando, CTF/CCC has to be made to operate on the amount of money generated. Hopefully more people will donate, but if they don't then we need to figure out how to make things work more efficiently. To answer your original question; I would pay for subscription, but will probably have higher demands regarding the product as a whole. (The enhancements are not something that I want right at this moment, but I'm afraid it is something that will happen over time.) Best Regards, Hristo
