If VJ had a $5 subscription Fee, would you?

[Savanphil 3]

I have been a lurker on a lot of forums, and I have joined a few, but I will not pay the subscription Fee.

By not paying the fee, I cannot use any of the features of the forum. I cannot even edit my own profile.

I was wondering if this happende to VJ....if anybody would stick around or pay the fee. Or be a freeviewer like me

Dangerous poll Savanphil...... don't give e-woks and e-wooks any ideas

I might have at the beginning when we had 8000 questions.

I do think there should be a donate option to help offset server costs and what not.

Donation option is a good idea and maybe donors get recognition with a star system under their Avatar.

Paying to get advice that we all give and receiving openly is a bit much.

I think it would change the atmosphere of this Forum.

I agree wholeheartedly about the donation idea. I've been thinking about that a lot lately, wish there was a way to do so.

In a forum such as this, there may be legal issues in charging for membership. Some stinking lawyer may attack the site again, inferring that members are offering legal advice.

In reality, we offer shared experience and opinion. As you know, lawyers have a keen ability to manipulate reality.

I would pay if that was what it took to to be a full member to post and everything.. I would think most would feel that the wealth of info would be worth the $5 fee.. maybe even $5 per month..or $25 lifetime would be better..

But not pay to Join and pay to post... thats silly

I like the donation idea better with brownie points for each month..or year that you donate..

I know of another forum ..it's Music one that to post in certain areas and the Classifieds you have to pay a donation of $30 per year.. and you get a star for each year you donate.. it seems to work very well..

Yes-I would have paid $5 to join without a problem. I learned WAAAY more here than I did at the 3 attorney's offices I consulted with when we first began.

James' shortcuts were priceless to us, as our time apart was hellish...Also, where else can you go to get accurate and instant help for a question on an I-864 at 3:00am when you cannot sleep because you're fretting about it ?

VJ was a tool that helped us immensely. For me, it brought our family together much faster, which means more to me than ANYTHING. I would have paid a king's ransom just for that alone.

I'd much rather have the option to donate.

[munchkins 1]

I am sure I would not have minded a one of payment as this site has been a godsend to us in so many ways as we have gone through the process.

AFAIK, due to legal issues, VJ can neither accept donations nor charge a fee.

Hmm had I still had to go through the immigration process, maybe...but five bucks just to chat with you lot

maybe.

Can we donate to eWok's House of Wookies instead? Or some other entity which has nothing to do with VJ?
