As discussed with another member in a PM, You only have to look at the shout board to see the effect of subscriptions! Simply put, subscripton access will simply reduce your userbase and your advertising revenue so we are now in a downward spiral till you decide this isn't viable anymore. Is there anyway you can (at minimal cost to yourself) arrange for the archive of threads to be available should you decide to close the forum? Maybe others would take on the cost. I would hate to see the loss of information that hppened when PBX Info closed down!
