This isn't meant to be an item about subscription, but I happily subscribe every year because the information I get (mostly from the *free* forums) and the contacts I've made are well worth it, and I want to support the board and make sure it stays around.

All that said - martinibuster's premise is spot on. Make your site attractive and/or useful to buyers, and you'll do well with AdSense AND affiliate programs.
