    SomethingAwful.com started getting bigger around 2004ish and they asked every existing member to donate $10 and required every new member to pay $10 to become a member. This was a one time cost that kept the site free of advertisements.

      I'd consider paying a no advertising fee here. Maybe like an optional yearly subscription though. I just love how this site looks without advertisements. So sleek. However, I still want them to be able to turn a profit.

      In fact, I'm not really sure what their current monetization plan is for this site. Are they only going to use their planned credit system?
