Well I actually de-lurked to chime in on this one.

I've been coming here regularly for many months so I know how high the quality is here.

But, if this were all walled off behind some pay subscription scheme I would have no way of knowing how good this site is. How would you convince me that paying for a subscription is actually worth the cost?

Banners don't bother me. Malfunctioning banner ad servers really annoy me when they click me over to a 404.

There has to be another alternative.
