No one needs to feel obligated to do anything... my posts are not meant to shame anyone, or to inflame, or to belittle, nor I'm I attempting to entice subscriptions.

I myself, am not obligated to post anything, other than maybe "me too" once in a while so my account remains active. I need not help, assist, answer any questions, and no other member needs to answer mine. It's a community thing and share is part of the process - but sharing isn't always about "what do I get before I give".

I need not pay for a subscription, if I don't want... there is nothing to gain in upselling a plug (or marketing the private forum) and I doubt anyone will make a million by simply subscribing.

I chose to do all of the above. Why?

Forward thinking... (consider my previous post)... everything is about risk and managing that risk.

For 3 years WebmasterWorld was donate, now subscribe but those forward thinkers that opted for the early risk received "in kind".

I chose to look to the future... if I do this today - where will I be tomorrow.

If your answer is $150 dollar poorer... then back behind close doors is likely not a good investment on your time or money.
