All it would do is create a barrier for the community.. a slippery slope in my opinion.

Anyway PC World couldn't afford MY rates for consultation :D

On the flipside, paying for something sure gets rid of the trolls (but that isn't a problem on PressF1).

Just bill the people who don't read the FAQs :thumbs:

Just my zero cents...

Haha yes sympathise with that idea .

I trust your masters at IDG have not put you up to this CHillWilly but if they are flying a kite then I am with the many posters who have said yes Pressf1 is excellent but you are not the only kid on the block .

395118 2005-10-11 10:48:00 I honestly doubt that IDG would charge for this, I was just curious to see how many people (I would be included) would run a mile if the notion of charging for something like this came up. I added to the current 48 votes for "No way". Keep it coming, Im really curious to see.

Loving the pseudo code too ;)

well, Maybe not us, but someone would get a good payout . . . . .

I do however block popups, and I'm not so fond of those popover things.

What do you guys think of the Google text ads?

Best type of advertising, as it dosent poke you in the eye.

If I had a vote from Google adds or any other type of adds I would pick Google

395125 2005-10-11 21:54:00 errrrrrrrr..........no i wouldn't pay for the privilege of helping people and giveing out free advice which if these sites didnt' exist would result in themhaving to pay a tech, (like me and others here).......those of us who make our living as techs are already 'paying' in a way because of this:....i live in cambridge.....say someone from camb has a pc prob and they come here and get free help then i've just potentially missed out on a paying job....... drcspy (146)
