395086 2005-10-10 20:55:00 Hey all,

This has nothing to do with PCWorld, Im just kinda curious myself... You know how some mornings the mind can wander. Well, mines just not returning when I call it back, and I got thinking about this.

395087 2005-10-10 20:57:00 Would Pressf1 pay for me? Metla (12)
395088 2005-10-10 21:00:00 Maybe that should be the 5th option.... Chilling_Silence (9)
395089 2005-10-10 21:14:00 You didn't have enough poll options.

But yeah, I'd pay, but not a lot, say a sub of 10 bucks per year. And only because I get as much help as I give. And keep in mind there are heaps of other forums like this out there that don't charge a bean.

395090 2005-10-10 21:15:00 I vote no!

Advice and assistance is offered free, 24 hours per day, so I don't see why anybody should pay for the privilege of providing it.

Press F1 is excellent advertising for PCW & IDG (thanks to quality mods) so it is a good deal for all.

Cheers

395092 2005-10-10 21:27:00 $10 a year would be reasonable - press F1 has very little advertising & thats the way I like it. IF you look at some of the other help forums, every available space is covered in advertising. Greven (91)
395093 2005-10-10 21:35:00 Pay?
ARE YOU OFF YOUR TAFFING MIND? :D

If those who really need help have to pay and they dont have a payment method, how do they ask questions?
What if it was just one question and thats it? you want them to pay $10 for that?

Would there be a Complete FAQ guide?

I cant see this working. hmm this reminds me of Atomic Magazine switching to Pay to post...

395094 2005-10-10 21:35:00 The strength of Pressf1 is in the users, they answer all the questions, and the site acts as an advert for Pcworld.

How could they charge us for what we give them? (granted I realise Chilli just posted this as a point of discussion......right?)

Pay to make their forum a success?

Meh.

Lets see how fast it goes downhill with only Jen and Chilliwilly to answer all the questions.

Anyhow, I would cream myself if I had a forum with this amount of traffic plastered in my advertising.....
