Been on this site for probably 15 years. I read the original post linked above (same problem 6+ years ago?). I am like others that commented on "what problem are we trying to solve"? 99.9% of all internet content is FREE, paid for by advertisers, not users. As this is the only worthy DeTomaso site on the web, is it really the case that POCA, the Pantera Vendors, FORD, Pirelli, Summit, JEGS, and the list goes on of suppliers we the DeTomaso Community use every day of the week, are that uninterested in advertising on? Don't know the financials nor business model being used here, so perhaps the problem can be better articulated?
Tiered membership models work best for the general reader/poster, seller, supplier, etc. Been proven at FerrariChat, GT40s.com, and on and on.
Charging to read internet content (other than "OnlyFans" :-)) is a sure way to kill it.
