Boards - Would you pay to post?

Frank Black

With all this talk of water charges and property taxes, I remember a while ago they were talking about putting a 1c tax on text messages.
So I was wondering if there was a 1c tax on every post on boards, would you still post?
Would it actually improve the quality of the posts or would it destroy everything you love about boards?

JONJO THE MISER

One more cent is not going to change my mind.

Your already paying that if your buying condoms, or lube, or batteries for your sex toys! :pac:

Some websites I am a member of do this (well, one anyway).

'Members' ($25 per year IIRC) can post links, pictures, and visit member-only forums. Non-members can post text, but that's it. (Can post a URL, but not in HTML).

For some reason I paid once 10 years ago, and seem to not have to renew annually like everyone else. But to be honest I would have let it lapse long ago if I was asked to pay again.

What I think would be interesting is a pay by post system. It would rule out a lot of poo talk, although that's what Boards is in general.

phasers

hell no! It would have cost me over 120 quid to post all the useless crap I post. That's walking around money.

And imagine how much Mike65 would have paid over time!

Duggy747

I'd be forced go over to that other forum we don't like to mention around here.

I'd rather spend my money on a Lithuanian hacker than pay for something here :pac:

So, will the government start taxing sex now?

So long as it's not by word count.

If they do, I wonder with the catholic Church in Ireland apply for an exemption for paying too? :pac:

Sure according to the Irish Constitution, they already have that exemption. :P

Same here! I don't think i've ever been on outside of office hours:D

I actually think that text tax would be a good idea, we need to come up with some way of raising money that doesnt just keep repeatedly screwing the ever shrinking pool of paye workers.

Dont be at yourself

I've got around 8k posts I think, over 10 years. 8e a year isn't too bad, I suppose!

[edit: err, 8k]

The only one I'm aware of is you are allowed into the sexy forum, it says subscribers only.

****ing hell DeV, you could have been a bit more subtle.

LisaLee

Nope, I'd probably just go to a different forum website.

There'd be nothing stopping another website starting up something like Boards.ie for free.
