Et Need To Become A Paying Site

How about this

Everything is still free but to be able to post let's just say a $1 ET charge just to get you on file
There's also a 3 strikes rule and once you're out it's gonna be tuff for you to get back in to post unless you get someone elses credit info with a different last name then the one that is already on file

This will clean up ET bigtime, make it free except for the $1 one time charge for anyone that wants to post just to get you on file, still have all the members to satisfy the advertisers, just now the 200-400 people that post frequently we be on their best behavior
 
Quote from Covertibility:

Are there any other message boards out there that are pay based? Usually there has to be some proprietary material to command some sort of premium from viewers.

The Motley Fool site went from free to pay a couple of years ago. There was a noticeable decrease in posters. Of course, that may have been due to the fact that the site sucked wind anyway (except for a couple of good discussion boards). I'd be willing to bet that most of the MF refugees came to ET and/or started their own Yahoo discussion groups.
