Hell the service is provided for nothing at not insignificant cost (servers/admin/maintenance/BANDWIDTH) - charging isn't that big a deal to cover some of the costs.

Registering enables you to customise forum settings to your preferences, and have them remembered by the server.

351685 2005-05-03 23:27:00 would you pay to post comments to Press F1?
Of course the question begs to be asked... would you pay to read my posts? :D

351687 2005-05-04 06:53:00 Preposterous idea really, paying for posting. A better idea is to do what Overclockers Australia Forums have done. They have sponsers which helps pay for bandwidth etc to keep it running. The sponsers are allowed to offer special deals on the forum, computer related, as part of the deal. vapo (5203)
