I, for one, have no wish for the free ride on this forum and if business isn't doing that well, you may perhaps add the possibility for paying (in a donating fashion, voluntarily) for PN forum, or alternatively, make it possible for people to buy an online subscription to PN itself to provide for the alibi/"alibi" of also being a regular on the forum. It should only take a button on the shop page.
What do you think?
And for all that, I certainly hope business is well, but I hope opportunity arises still the same.
Cheers!
