Would you pay a GAF monthly fee?

Say EviLore announced tomorrow that he will be implementing a GAF monthly fee. You either pay the monthly fee, or your account is closed.

Benefits would be things such as;

- No Ads

- Threads such as hot men/women, marijuana etc will be alowed

- .gif avatars

- Gaf Swag from time to time (shirts, etc )

- Gaf competitions and giveaways where you win cool stuff

...and other benefits.

Would you Pay? And what would be your maximum? $5? $10? hell $20? Would you pay only if a specific perk/benefit is provided to you?

Would pay money to keep these things out of my NeoGAF. But in reality of course not.

I would pay exactly $10 a year to have a .gif avatar, but none of those other features really appeal to me.

I'd pay a reasonable yearly fee (or preferably a one-time activation) ... sure. I already do for a few sites (avsforum, mpcclub, giantbomb, etc)

You don't even know what the thing is yet. How big it can get, how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down. A billion dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool?

A trillion dollars

No. I post on several other boards already. I like NeoGaf because it has many OTs with the same community members all over the place. If NeoGaf charged I would simply post on other boards for each of my interests/hobbies.

No I can't say I would.

Gaf is a great community, but it's still just a message board and I'm not willing to pay for that.

My immediate response to the question was "No, I spend way too much here and that would be the perfect excuse to quit cold turkey" but as pathetic as it is and as ashamed of myself I'd be afterward, I'd probably go for this.

I'd pay a really, really, really small fee for a .gif avatar and an @neogaf.com email address. More for the novelty than anything else.

Fuck any kind of ultimatum-fee or monthly bullshit.

Nope, and frankly that would be a terrible idea. Especially the "pay or get your account closed".

I hope something like this never happens, even if it's optional.
